Large-scale protests, named "No Kings" rallies, occurred nationwide in the United States, demonstrating opposition to the Trump administration.
The protests took place simultaneously with a military parade in Washington, D.C., which was organized by President Trump.
Demonstrations occurred in various locations, including major cities like Philadelphia, Atlanta, New York, and Chicago, as well as in smaller communities.
Even after a shooting in Minnesota that killed a state lawmaker and her husband, protesters showed up to demonstrate against President Trump.
Large crowds across the country have gathered to protest the Trump administration — in major cities like Philadelphia, Atlanta, New York and Chicago and in smaller, rural communities as well. The “No Kings” rallies, as the demonstrations were known, were planned for the same day as a military parade in Washington, D.C., that President Trump scheduled for the Army’s 250th anniversary, which also coincides with his 79th birthday.
In Minnesota, where a gunman shot and killed a state lawmaker and her husband, and wounded a state senator and his wife overnight on Saturday, demonstrators came out to protest even though the events were officially canceled. Several protesters noted that it was important to show courage on a frightening day.
The demonstrations follow more than a week of large-scale protests in Los Angeles against Mr. Trump’s immigration crackdown and his decision to deploy the military there.
