Thousands of "No Kings Day" protests are set to be held throughout the country on Saturday to protest the Trump administration.
Demonstrations occurred across the United States on Saturday, June 14, as 'No Kings Day' protesters took aim at President Donald Trump's administration and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids.
The rallies were among hundreds of "No Kings" protests held throughout the United States, timed to coincide with a military parade celebrating the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army in Washington, D.C. Saturday was also Trump's 79th birthday.
The No Kings events come after days of protests following raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Los Angeles, and Trump’s subsequent deployment of thousands of National Guard and U.S. Marines troops to “temporarily protect” ICE and other federal personnel, along with federal property.
The "No Kings" protests were scheduled in Connecticut as early as 9:30 a.m. in Canton and Glastonbury and could last elsewhere until 6 p.m.
The anti-Trump protests in Austin remained peaceful, despite a 'credible threat' that forced a brief evacuation of the Texas Capitol complex.
Evansville's local protest is set for 1 p.m. Saturday at the Federal Courthouse at 101 NW Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. Organizing groups are Indivisible Evansville with Evansville Resistance. The protest will feature speakers on social justice, a representative from the Vanderburgh County Democratic Party and more.
