LIVE UPDATES: ‘No Kings’ protests planned across US in opposition to Trump

Key Points:

• Protests under the "No Kings" banner erupted nationwide Saturday, targeting the Trump administration and ICE facilities, with significant events in Portland, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, and Washington, D.C., involving thousands of participants and notable figures like Bernie Sanders, Bruce Springsteen, and Elizabeth Warren.
• In Portland, protests outside an ICE facility escalated into violence, with masked agitators attacking federal officers, leading to police arrests and warnings of possible use of crowd control measures; similar unrest occurred in Los Angeles where federal officers used tear gas against rioters throwing objects.
• The "No Kings" protests are coordinated by a network of approximately 500 groups with combined revenues around $3 billion, including left-leaning and radical socialist organizations, with Indivisible as a lead coordinator; some groups advocate for revolutionary messages and have targeted ICE and Trump policies.
• Prominent political figures and celebrities vocally opposed President Trump at these events, with speeches condemning his administration's immigration enforcement, economic policies, and alleged authoritarian tendencies, while the White House dismissed the protests as "Trump Derangement Therapy Sessions."
• Law enforcement responses across cities included arrests for assault, criminal mischief, and failure to disperse, with tactical alerts declared and crowd control tactics such as tear gas and pepper balls deployed to manage escalating confrontations during the protests.
