Addressing a crowd gathered near Colfax Avenue, speakers from progressive activist groups urged attendees to back Aurora’s immigrant community on Saturday.

"Our communities in Aurora have been under attack nationally with Operation Aurora rhetoric and pundits taking out of context what really happened here."

In Aurora Saturday, hundreds of people gathered to protest a barrage of executive orders and memos from the Trump administration focused on immigration enforcement.

The effects of a coronal mass ejection—a bubble of plasma that bursts from the sun’s surface—will likely impact Earth’s magnetic field on Saturday, bringing the northern lights to several northern U.S. states, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The colorful northern lights may reveal themselves to a wide swath of Americans Friday night due to an impending solar storm forecast to reach Earth.
