TAOS, N.M.  — War protesters trashed the grounds around a northern New Mexico home owned by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, placing “No War” stickers and throwing children’s clothes around the property, authorities say.

No arrests were made during the demonstration Thursday, said Lt. Eddie Martinez of the Taos County Sheriff’s Department.

The protesters were among 400 to 500 who began demonstrating at Taos Plaza and marched along U.S. 64 to two Rumsfeld properties at El Prado, a couple of miles northwest of Taos, Martinez said.

“They got onto his property, and that would be trespassing,” he said. “There’s issues and laws they need to understand. If their choice is a peace demonstration, then they should keep the peace.”
