Listen to the story
President Trump held a rally in Georgia to support Republican candidates.
A rally is a large public meeting to support a political cause.
The event took place ahead of the midterms, the US elections for Congress.
Midterms happen halfway through a president's term, without a presidential vote.
During the rally, Trump's speech was disrupted by protesters.
To disrupt means to interrupt or stop something from continuing normally.
The protesters opposed ICE, the US immigration enforcement agency.
Immigration refers to the process of people moving to live in another country.
They are described as anti-ICE protesters, meaning they oppose the agency's actions.
The protest interrupted the rally while it was happening.
The Guardian reported this as part of its live coverage of US politics.

A nominee is a person chosen by a party to run in an election.
The rally is one of several events happening before the midterm elections.
These elections will decide the makeup of the US Congress.

ICE has faced criticism from various groups over its enforcement actions.
