The " No Kings" rallies were expected to draw tens of thousands of participants across the state. Demonstrations were held in more than 50 cities and towns across Oregon. People lined high-traffic areas in their towns and neighborhoods to express their frustration with the Trump administration.

As part of 2,600 other “No Kings” events held across the U.S., thousands of people gathered at the federal courthouse in Eugene Saturday to denounce the Trump Administration.

PPB said it has worked alongside agencies like the Oregon State Police, ODOT and TriMet to maintain safety at protests.

"No Kings" protests are planned nationwide on Oct. 18. The Eugene event is a follow up to a similar demonstration on June 14 which drew thousands to downtown. That protest coincided with President Donald Trump's birthday and a large military parade in Washington, D.C.

Tens of thousands across Oregon and Washington — and nationwide — peacefully marched in the "No Kings" demonstrations; Portland police said no arrests were made.

Separately, federal agents repeatedly deployed tear gas and pepper spray on protesters at the ICE complex in Portland.

The No Kings movement says it is marching to show that "America has no kings, and the power belongs to the people."
