Demonstrators gathered in parks and plazas across the U.S. to protest against President Donald Trump.
The “No Kings” rallies were organized in nearly 2,000 locations nationwide, including cities, towns, and community spaces.
These protests followed recent unrest over federal immigration raids and Trump’s deployment of the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles, where tensions escalated with protesters blocking a freeway and setting vehicles on fire.

Trump will preside over a huge military parade in Washington on his 79th birthday, as nationwide protests rejecting his brand of politics underscore deep divisions over his second term. But the threat of thunderstorms in the US capital, and the barrage of missiles raining down in Tel Aviv and Tehran — a conflict in which the American military is assisting — could cast a long shadow over the president’s celebration. Nearly 7,000 troops plus dozens of tanks and helicopters will rumble through Washington in an event officially marking the 250th anniversary of the US army — at a cost of up to $45 million.
