US: Protests possible in Palm Beach, Florida, through at least late March amid controversial grand jury verdict

Protests possible in Palm Beach, Fla., US, through at least late March amid controversial grand jury verdict. Increased security likely.

Warning

Event

Protests are possible in Palm Beach, Florida, and nearby areas through at least late March amid a controversial grand jury verdict in a criminal case involving former US President Donald J. Trump. Some demonstrations have already occurred in the area in recent days.

Likely gathering sites include Mar-a-Lago, a resort in Palm Beach owned by Trump, regardless of the grand jury's ruling. Trump opponents could also demonstrate to condemn any decision not to indict the former president.

Localized clashes are possible if activists from rival political camps attempt to protest near each other. Heightened security, with associated transport disruptions, is likely near Mar-a-Lago and throughout Palm Beach and parts of West Palm Beach, Florida.

Advice

Monitor developments. Liaise with trusted contacts for further updates regarding the potential for protests, increased security, and related disruptions, particularly in and around Palm Beach. Avoid any demonstrations that materialize due to possible clashes.
