Protesters have blocked a highway leading to a campaign rally for Republican presidential front runner Donald Trump.
The demonstrators parked cars in the middle of the road near Phoenix, Arizona, before holding banners with anti-Trump slogans reading "Dump Trump" and "Shut Down Trump".
Large crowds had been lining up waiting to get into the rally at the town of Fountain Hills, where Mr Trump spoke alongside Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio.
The protesters, who numbered about two dozen, started to move away from the road and towards the rally after about an hour.
They were booed and jeered as they made their way through the crowd of Mr Trump's supporters.
They chanted as Mr Trump was introduced, but their chants were drowned out, as supporters shouted: "Trump! Trump! Trump!" and "USA! USA!"
It's not the first time a Trump rally has seen trouble, with a recent campaign event in Chicago having to be cancelled after clashes between protesters and supporters.
