SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KFGO) – Protests against the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade and South Dakota’s trigger law ending abortion in the state ended with arrests late last night in downtown Sioux Falls.
Several hundred pro-choice demonstrators took to the streets, chanted slogans, and stopped traffic. Sioux Falls Police tried to funnel the crowd to a park with little success, scrambling to block off traffic. Protestors were eventually warned that the demonstration had become an unlawful assembly. When they refused to disperse, police resorted to smoke to break up the crowd and several people were taken into custody for resisting arrest.
