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.

Snopes has fact-checked many claims that have spread related to the protests, such as whether videos show a man committing several acts of violence, whether the California Democratic Party bought pallets of bricks for LA protesters ( originated as satire ), and whether a Craigslist ad proved the protests were orchestrated.

At a peaceful vigil in downtown Los Angeles, interfaith community leaders came together for prayer, support and healing.

More than 1,500 events are planned throughout the U.S. to send a loud message to President Donald Trump: “In America, we don’t do kings.”

Nationwide non-partisan No Kings protests on Flag Day follow chaotic demonstrations in Los Angeles over the immigration enforcement actions. Protester numbers grew and tempers heated, with some clashing with law enforcement, after Trump mobilized the California National Guard and the U.S. Marines.

Democratic policies regarding immigration has evolved as attitudes have hardened after record border crossings during Joe Biden's administration.

Critics such as California Governor Gavin Newsom viewed Trump's decision to send in the National Guard as an abuse of power.
