South Bend and Goshen are joining a nationwide protest Thursday in support of protecting Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

The protests were triggered Wednesday after Attorney General Jeff Sessions resigned as the country's chief law enforcement officer at President Donald Trump's request.

The man who will serve at least temporarily as the nation's top law enforcement official is Matthew G. Whitaker. He has called for limiting Mueller's investigation.

Protests are planned for 5 p.m. local time in hundreds of cities across the country.

South Bend's protest will be held at John Hunt Plaza and is being hosted by Indivisible Indiana District 2.

Goshen's protest is being held at the Goshen Courthouse.
