Donald Trump and his security force at Trump Tower must face claims by a group of human rights activists who contend they were attacked by then-candidate Trump’s guards in 2015 while peacefully protesting against his remarks about Mexican immigrants and the Black Lives Matter movement.

A New York state judge denied Trump’s bid to dismiss the lawsuit against his private security team, accused of roughing up the protesters three months after he declared his candidacy for president.
