Trump, Kings and protest
Digest more
On "No Kings" day, thousands of protests are set to take place across the United States on June 14 in response to the Trump administration’s policies.
The "No Kings" protests are set to take place to counter what organizers say are Trump’s plans to feed his ego on his 79th birthday and Flag Day. "No Kings" will follow several days of nationwide protests against federal immigration raids including in Los Angeles, where Trump's deployment of the National Guard further agitated his opponents.
Opponents of President Donald Trump’s administration are set to rally in Dallas, Fort Worth, Frisco, Arlington and other North Texas cities.
The anti-Trump protests in Austin remained peaceful, despite a 'credible threat' that forced a brief evacuation of the Texas Capitol complex.
Around 4:30 p.m., the Texas National Guard was seen arriving at Alamo Plaza. Earlier in the week, Gov. Greg Abbott announced he was sending more than 2,000 Texas DPS troopers and 5,000 Texas National Guard soldiers to cities around Texas to help local law enforcement amid the protests.
Coordinated "No Kings" protests are underway from coast-to-coast, part of a "national day of peaceful protest" against the Trump administration that is expected to draw millions. Protesters in some areas braved wet weather to raise signs and chant slogans supporting the rights of immigrants and criticizing what they see as Trump's power grab.
