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

The BriefThousands are protesting across Los Angeles and nationwide Saturday, June 14, against the Trump administration, coinciding with a military parade in D.C.Organized by "No Kings," the demonstrations aim to peacefully oppose perceived authoritarianism and corruption.

Los Angeles endured a sixth day of protests that have been largely peaceful but occasionally punctuated by violence.

Saturday marks the first full day of Marines on duty in Los Angeles, one week after protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids ignited in LA.

"No Kings," a nationwide series of protests scheduled for Saturday, was planned as a counter to the military parade taking place in Washington D.C. on the same day. That parade is being held in honor of the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary and, coincidentally, Mr. Trump's 79th birthday.

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.

A few hundred people in Market Square marched through downtown Knoxville to protest ICE and Trump's use of military at Los Angeles protests.

The U.S. military will not be responsible for law enforcement at Los Angeles protests, the Pentagon said on Friday. Why it matters: Nearly 5,000 National Guard members and Marines were deployed by the Trump administration in response to anti-immigration raid protests, despite disapproval from a plurality of Americans.
