(The Center Square) – Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr said Wednesday anyone caught rioting is at risk to face domestic terrorism charges.

"It’s very simple," he said. "Protesters use words. Rioters use violence. There is no gray area. We are not California or New York. We are Georgia. We don’t make excuses for criminals here. We prosecute them."

A charge of domestic terrorism has a penalty of five to 35 years in prison, he said.

Carr's remarks come as rioting continues in Los Angeles. Protesters are upset with federal lawmen enforcing federal law. To enter America from another country, if not a U.S. citizen, a visa or some other travel authorization is required to be presented at a port of entry.

An immigration protest was held Tuesday evening in Brookhaven, just outside of Atlanta, resulting in six arrests, according to WSB-TV. The television station said a video captured by its photographer showed people throwing fireworks at police.

A coalition of grassroots organizations is planning hundreds of protests across the country on Saturday called "The No Kings Nationwide Day of Defiance." More than a dozen protests are lined up for the metro Atlanta area, according to a map on the group's website. Other Georgia cities where "No Kings" protests are scheduled include Dalton, Macon, Gainesville, Columbus and Savannah.

The protests are in response to a Saturday military parade in Washington marking the Army’s 250th birthday and Flag Day. President Donald Trump also turns 79 on Saturday.

“Instead of allowing this military parade to be the center of gravity, activists will make action everywhere else the story of America that day,” according to a release from Indivisible, one of the groups involved in the protests.

“This parade salutes our soldiers’ remarkable strength and unbeatable spirit,” Trump said in a promotional video on Thursday of last week.
