“People are fed up.” That is why hundreds of people showed up for the No Kings protest at Campus 805’s Butler Green in Huntsville, according to organizer Jeff Angle.

No Kings protests were held Saturday in nearly 2,000 places across the U.S. The protests were planned on the same day as the military parade in D.C.

While President Donald Trump attended a military parade he ordered on his birthday to recognize the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army in Washington, D.C., thousands of people in the Kansas City metro area flexed their First Amendment right Saturday to voice their opposition to polices of the Trump administration during the “No Kings” national day of defiance.

The parade, honoring the Army’s long-planned 250th anniversary celebration and coinciding with Trump’s 79th birthday, is set to step off from the Lincoln Memorial under the threat of stormy weather in Washington and protests around the country tied to a turbulent week of immigration enforcement that has involved military deployment in Los Angeles.

Organizers of the protests said that all of the planned events in the state were canceled after a recommendation from Gov. Tim Walz.

Texas DPS officers will close the Capitol early ahead of Saturday's protest to ensure safety, but organizers say 'No Kings' protest will be peaceful.
