Samuel Johnson has announced he plans a public protest in Austin Wednesday, June 3, concerning illegal immigration.

According to Johnson, “The protest is open to the public and there will be guest speakers who will register their opinions.”

Johnson said the protest will be held at the Mower County Veterans Memorial near the intersection of North Main Street and Second Avenue Northeast.

“I’ve never done something like this before,” Johnson said.

The protest, he emphasized, is “my own. I’m not affiliated with any other immigration reform organizations.”

Johnson said he is a member of the National Socialists Movement, but that the NSM is not a sponsor of the June 3 event.

Johnson has registered his plans for the June 3 protest with the Austin Police Department.

He said as many speakers as possible will be allowed to present their opinions at the event.
