No Kings’ protests and ICE raid demonstrations are planned for Los Angeles, where National Guard members and Marines activated by President Trump are stationed at federal buildings. Protests over ICE raids in Los Angeles and ‘No Kings’ demonstrations are planned Saturday in Los Angeles.

Protesters held signs that read, “No kings since 1776,” “Bad Things Happen When Good People Do Nothing,” “Stop the Parade Fund Medicaid,” “When cruelty becomes normal compassion looks radical” and “Make Orwell Fiction Again.”

Americans are planning to demonstrate against President Donald Trump across the U.S. on Saturday as a counterpoint to the 200,000 people expected to attend the military parade in Washington.
