The No Kings events come after days of protests following raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Los Angeles, and Trump’s subsequent deployment of thousands of National Guard and U.S. Marines troops to “temporarily protect” ICE and other federal personnel, along with federal property.
Protests are underway in Jacksonville and across the United States as part of the "No Kings" nationwide day of defiance. Watch live coverage here.
A handful of counter protestors moved to stand behind the line of No Kings protestors. They chanted "Trump" at the No Kings demonstrators holding up signs and a flag of their own. Justin Johnson, who's from Marion, was one of the demonstrators supporting Trump.
Hundreds, if not thousands, of protesters showed up June 14 at Cora P. Roberson Park in Gainesville to participate in the "No Kings" protest.
The protests are scheduled to coincide with President Donald Trump’s parade for the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary scheduled in Washington, D.C.
The rally, one of hundreds in the U.S., happened the same day as a military parade and President Donald Trump's birthday.
After two Minnesota state lawmakers were shot in a targeted attack, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz advises against attending "No Kings" Day protests.
The"No Kings" protests are planned to oppose what they see as Trump's power grab. The number of planned events is nearly double that of the April 5 "Hands Off" protest that saw millions of Americans turn out in big and small cities nationwide.
