Digest more
Dallas-Fort Worth residents turned out in force Saturday for local "No Kings" protests against President Donald Trump's policies, including anti-immigration raids.
Demonstrations in McAllen, Midland, Odessa, Austin and elsewhere in Texas were largely peaceful, as some protests went well into the night.
People in San Antonio planned a demonstration on Saturday to condemn President Trump’s military parade in Washington D.C., which is meant in part to mark the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. The “No-Kings Nationwide Day of Defiance” protest is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. at Travis Park.
Ahead of this weekend's "No Kings" protests against Trump administration policies and recent immigration raids, Latino elected officials and civic leaders urged participants to remain peaceful while still exercising their right to free speech.
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.
Despite peaceful demonstrations reported in multiple cities, violence flared at some anti-Trump protests over the weekend.
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.
