BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- A group calling itself the "Baltimore Welcoming Committee" is planning a protest during President Donald Trump's visit to the city Thursday.

"Let's show the world that racist RAT Trump is NOT welcome in Baltimore! It's time to rally against racism and white supremacy!" the group said on its Facebook page.
