No Kings protests come on the heels of protests across the country over federal immigration enforcement raids that began last week and Trump ordering

The “day of defiance” protests began as early as 10 a.m. in North Texas, while the Washington, D.C., military parade for the Army’s 250th birthday starts at 5:30 p.m. Central.

The LAPD said on social media that the people in the crowd were throwing "rocks, bricks, bottles and other objects" while they were near the federal building.

Organizers of the “No Kings” demonstrations said millions had marched in hundreds of events. In Oregon, tens of thousands of people gathered in downtown Portland for two large protests -- one that began in Tom McCall Waterfront Park and the other at the Oregon Convention Center.

U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, another elected representative speaking while under apparent threat of assassination, gave a roundup of recent disturbing news headlines. He pointed to the shooting in Minnesota, and the incident Thursday when California Sen. Alex Padilla was aggressively arrested on camera. The crowd booed.

Those millions included an estimated 200,000 people in Los Angeles, 100,000 in Philadelphia, 70,000 in Seattle and over 50,000 in New York.

Thousands protested in Central Texas on "No Kings Day," opposing perceived authoritarianism on a day marking Flag Day and Trump's birthday.
