HAMBURG, Germany (KTRK) -- The First Lady of the United States cannot leave a Hamburg hotel because of a rowdy protest outside.

Melania Trump is in Germany as President Trump attends the G-20 summit.

Hamburg Police said the First Lady cannot leave the hotel because of a raucous demonstration growing outside the hotel where the Trumps are staying.
