More than 1,500 events are planned throughout the U.S. to send a loud message to President Donald Trump: “In America, we don’t do kings.”

Tens of thousands of people participated in dozens of "No Kings" protests in downtown Los Angeles and throughout Southern California to join a coalition of activists across the country demonstrating "in defiance" of President Trump.

No Kings” protests are taking place across Southern California and the U.S. on Saturday in response to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids across the Southland and the Trump administration’s policies.
