By Idrees Ali, Tim Reid, Brad Brooks and Karen FreifeldWASHINGTON/LOS ANGELES/NEW YORK (Reuters) -Hundreds of thousands of Americans protested President Donald Trump at rallies and marches in major cities from New York to Los Angeles on Saturday,

Organizers say weekend protests against President Trump and his policies drew millions of people nationwide. The demonstrations were held as Trump hosted a military parade in Washington, D.C.

The demonstrations follow more than a week of large-scale protests in Los Angeles against Mr. Trump’s immigration crackdown and his decision to deploy the military there. Protesters gathered in Liberty Plaza outside of the Georgia State Capitol in Downtown Atlanta.

The demonstrations come on the heels of protests flaring up around the country over federal immigration enforcement raids that began last week and Trump ordering National Guard troops and Marines to Los Angeles where protesters blocked a freeway and set cars on fire.

Thousands marched across California to protest Trump policies and immigration raids. Protests aligned with Flag Day and President Trump's 79th birthday military parade. Major cities saw peaceful rallies;
