One account says protesters issue a deadline for undocumented migrants to leave, with the timing set for Tuesday.

Overall, the common theme is that anti-migrant mobilizations planned for Tuesday prompt broad local disruption and security concerns, including the prospect of forced or coerced departure of undocumented migrants.
