The \u2018No Kings\u2019 demos coincided with Trump\u2019s birthday and a military parade in Washington marking the US Army\u2019s 250th anniversary<\/strong><\/p>\n

More than five million people took part in anti-Trump marches across the US on Saturday, organizers have claimed. The \u2018No Kings\u2019 rallies took aim at the president\u2019s tough anti-immigration policies, as well as layoffs of government employees.<\/p>\n

The protests, touted as the \u201clargest single-day mobilization\u201d<\/em> against the Republican president, came against a backdrop of days-long riots in Los Angeles that erupted following a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid on illegal migrants. The protesters there have been torching police cars and US flags, blocking highways, and clashing with law enforcement officers, who have responded with tear gas and rubber bullets and hundreds of arrests. Multiple injuries on both sides have been reported.<\/p>\n

On the event\u2019s website, the \u2018No Kings\u2019 organizers called for a \u201cnationwide day of defiance rejecting authoritarianism, billionaire-first politics, and the militarization of our democracy\u201d<\/em> on Saturday. They claimed events were held in more than 1,500 cities across all 50 states, including New York, Denver, Chicago, Austin, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve defied our courts, deported Americans, disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil rights, and slashed our services,\u201d<\/em> the statement read, apparently referring to the Trump administration.<\/p>\n

No major events were staged in the US capital, Washington, where a military parade was taking place to mark the 250th anniversary of the US Army. President Trump, who presided over the procession, also celebrated his 79th birthday on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cInstead of allowing this birthday parade to be the center of gravity, we will make action everywhere else the story of America that day,\u201d<\/em> the organizers declared, as quoted by the media.<\/p>\n

While most rallies proceeded without incident, clashes between demonstrators and police were reported in Los Angeles. In Portland, Oregon, law enforcement officers also deployed tear gas and rubber bullets as a splinter group of protesters converged on the local ICE building, with at least two arrests reportedly made.<\/p>\n

In Salt Lake City, Utah, police detained three people after shots were fired during a rally, leaving one person seriously injured. Police Chief Brian Redd said the motive was not immediately clear.<\/p>\n

In Culpeper, Virginia, the police apprehended a man who drove his SUV into a crowd, hitting at least one of the participants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
