Supporters of President Donald Trump are lined up outside the Phoenix Convention Center in advance of a planned rally by the president.

The supporters began gathering before dawn Tuesday for the planned 7 p.m. rally. Many in the crowd wore Trump pins, "Make America Great Again" hats and shirts bearing images of the Statue of Liberty shirts and American flag.

The crowd gathered just a block away from where opponents of the president outlined their plans to peaceably protest his policies on the environment, immigration, the border wall and what some called "an assault on civil rights."

Trump supporter Diane Treon of Kingman says she's been at the Convention Center since 4 a.m. and is thrilled at the chance to see the president.

Treon says she's concerned about planned protests but believes Phoenix police will ensure a safe event.
