SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Chanting “This is what democracy looks like,” thousands of protesters were in downtown Sacramento on Saturday as part of a nationwide day of demonstrations. The “No Kings” protests, staged in cities across the country, were organized in response to Saturday's military parade in Washington, D.C.

A protest that started at Sacramento's Cesar Chavez Plaza later combined with one at the California State Capitol. They both had the same overall message: stop the ICE raids.

After a weekend of violent anti-deportation protests in San Francisco and Los Angeles, Sacramento's mayor is not concerned that violence will happen in his city.

Thousands showed up at multiple ‘No Kings’ rallies in Sacramento, Yolo, Placer and El Dorado counties to protest President Trump on the same day as a military parade in Washington D.C.

Protesters chanted “No hate, no fear, immigrants are welcome here” and “love, not hate, makes America great,” condemning the recent actions of ICE officials throughout the country, and the decisions by the Trump administration, namely in Los Angeles where anti-ICE protests and unrest continue for the fourth day.

Protestors gather at Capitol West Steps in Los Angeles to protest ICE raids in the city and across California, calling for immigration reform.

Green Bay was one of many cities across Wisconsin and the country to hold a "No Kings Day" demonstration to protest President Donald Trump.

The Only Kings We Support Are The SACRAMENTO KINGS,’ one protester’s sign said, as Trump opponents demonstrated throughout the capital region.
