Tens of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets across Southern California on Saturday to voice their concerns over ongoing immigration raids and oppose the policies of President Trump, who they depicted as an aspiring monarch.

The “No Kings Nationwide Day of Defiance” was scheduled as counterprogramming to Trump's military parade marking the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary.

Across the country, relatively few disruptions were reported during protests and marches where the mood ranged from joyful to defiant.
