As political chatter continues on immigration reform in Washington D.C., some of the discussion has hit Kansas City, Kan., in the form of a protest.

On Saturday afternoon, about 300 individuals protested in front of the home of Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach.

Kobach, an outspoken critic on legislation that would grant legalization to about 11 million illegal immigrants in the United States, happens to live in Western Wyandotte County.

The protestors were from an organization called the Sunflower Community Action.

Kobach was referred to as the "King of Hate" in multiple tweets from the organization's Twitter account.

No one was injured in the event.
