VERONA, Va. — The CEO of Nexus Services Inc. said he was recently warned by authorities that hundreds of anti-immigration protesters might descend on his company's Verona campus on Saturday.

CEO Michael Donovan said up to 500 protesters from a group known as "The Three Percenters" could show up, according to a press release.

Nexus provides GPS tracking to detained immigrants so they can be released while awaiting immigration court hearings and deals with criminal defendants as well. The company has several private and nonprofit subsidiary services with offices across the nation.

"While we respect the First Amendment rights of all people and have no issue with peaceful demonstrations of any kind, we simply cannot remain silent against the forces of hate, ignorance, and white supremacy," Donovan said in a press release. "It is our experience that when good people stand up to bullies, the bullies typically turn away from the bright light of truth. Sunlight is the best disinfectant in the marketplace of ideas."
