The 1,800 "No Kings" protests across the country are meant to express frustration over President Trump's actions that organizers say are authoritarian.
The rallies were among hundreds of "No Kings" protests held throughout the United States, timed to coincide with a military parade celebrating the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army in Washington, D.C. Saturday was also Trump's 79th birthday.
As some people across the country, joined together for a No Kings Day of Defiance protest against President Donald J. Trump on Saturday, June 14th, Trump was honoring the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary.
The demonstrations come on the heels of protests flaring up around the country over federal immigration enforcement raids that began last week and Trump ordering National Guard troops and Marines to Los Angeles where protesters blocked a freeway and set cars on fire.
Despite peaceful demonstrations reported in multiple cities, violence flared at some anti-Trump protests over the weekend.
