Thousands of anti-Trump protests are erupting across the United States this weekend under the banner of “No Kings” day.
Thousands of "No Kings Day" protests are set to be held throughout the country on Saturday to protest the Trump administration.
The "No Kings" day protests were planned before riots erupted in Los Angeles over immigration enforcement raids. Trump called in the California National Guard and a few days later ordered Marines to the city. California Gov. Gavin Newsom filed a lawsuit over the president’s move to deploy members of the Guard without Newsom’s authorization.
Thousands of people gathered as elected officials and community leaders are slated to speak at some of the protests.
No Kings” organizers described the events as a “nationwide day of defiance” against President Donald Trump and authoritarianism.
More than 2,000 "No Kings" protests are planned for Saturday, June 14, around Florida and the United States. The protests coincide with Flag Day, President Trump's 79th birthday and the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary celebration and military parade taking place in Washington, D.C.
