No Kings” organizers described the events as a “nationwide day of defiance” against President Donald Trump and authoritarianism.

Arrests were almost exclusively for charges of failure to obey a lawful order, Denver police said, but some included interference with police authority, unlawful throwing of projectiles, and obstruction of streets.

Denver police say they have made 17 protest-related arrests in total Saturday after the peaceful "No Kings" event ended and unaffiliated marchers took to Denver's streets.
