The "No Kings" protest in Dallas drew thousands of people to City Hall Plaza on Saturday.

At least 1,500 "No Kings" protests nationwide were being held Saturday, the same day as President Donald Trump's large-scale military parade in Washington, D.C., to celebrate the U.S. Army and his 79th birthday.
