Demonstrations occurred across the United States on Saturday, June 14, as 'No Kings Day' protesters took aim at President Donald Trump's administration and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids.
Between activism, election results and protest turnout, the prevailing political winds suggest the backlash to the president is real.
The anti-Trump protests in Austin remained peaceful, despite a 'credible threat' that forced a brief evacuation of the Texas Capitol complex.
With protests blanketing the United States over the immigration crackdown — which is to say nothing of “No Kings Day” on Saturday — boxer Ryan Garcia couldn’t sit back anymore as Los Angeles, his home, has been wracked with ICE raids, protests and upheaval.
No Kings has identified on its website more than 1,800 cities nationwide, including about 70 in Michigan, where demonstrators are set to gather to express disapproval.
Demonstrators gathered in communities large and small. Many events on the East Coast have ended, but police clashed with some protesters in L.A.
State legislators Selena LaRue Hatch, Erica Roth and Natha Anderson attended the event, with LaRue Hatch offering a speech addressing the assassination of a Democratic state legislator and the attempted assassination of another Saturday in Minnesota.
Follow along for live updates as thousands of people nationwide have shown up at protests and rallies opposing ICE raids.
