Protesters began gathering early on the west steps of the state Capitol in Sacramento as a so-called "No Kings" protest against Trump administration policies, part of a nationwide day of demonstrations meant to coincide with a military parade marking the 250th anniversary of the U.

About 500 demonstrators in Fayetteville rallied against Donald Trump’s administration in one of more than 1,800 nationwide “No Kings” protests.

The No Kings protestors spread from Pine Grove Park Drive to Prospect Place. Greg Gale held a sign stating "Veterans against Trump." He said he served in the Marine Corp from 1975-79. "The way the country is right now under Donald Trump, its terrible," he said. "We take an oath to the Constitution, but he's breaking his oath daily."

Thousands of anti-trump protesters are set to rally in "No Kings" protests across America, countering Trump's military parade and opposing his immigration policies.

Thousands gathered for the No Kings protest at the Michigan State Capitol building in Lansing on Saturday, June 14.

Around the country, “No Kings” protests kicked off as President Donald Trump celebrated his birthday and the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army with a military parade. Boston’s “No Kings” demonstration coincided with the city’s Pride parade and festival.

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.

The Houston demonstration is one of several planned in the region throughout the day and is expected to draw thousands of protesters.

Protests are taking place in Florida and nationwide on June 14, the same day as the military parade in Washington DC.
