The presidency is only legally afforded some powers. The issue here isn't Trump's fulfilling of campaign promises. The issue here is if Trump is following the law while doing so.
This is well out of my area of expertise, but isn't illegal immigration a federal issue, and the federal agencies answer to the executive branch?
My understanding of the protests is they're primarily against the removal of illegal immigrants and as Trump has taken control of (?) some state elements that has become a contentious point, but wasn't to begin with.
Normally I'd read up more before discussing with people, but the news article seem pretty blurry on the primary intentions of the protesters and what specifically they are against.

Indiscriminate rounding up. We are seeing citizens detained. Families separated. Fear, which is clearly the point.
