Protests under "No Kings" banner erupt in Michigan, with peaceful demonstrations and a brief scuffle in Detroit.

Protesters across Michigan and the United States are rallying Saturday afternoon in a demonstration organizers are calling a "national day of defiance."

Detroit's rally, which was one of close to 2,000 held across the United States, was a show of unity and defiance, organizers say.

Detroit Lakes was one of nearly 2,000 locations participating in a nationwide protest against the Trump administration on Saturday, June 14.

A number of "No Kings" rallies are planned for Saturday, with an emphasis on a nonviolent response to President Trump's administration. Among the rallies planned are a number in the Detroit area and throughout Michigan.

The protest at Detroit's Clark Park is expected to draw at least 2,000 people and will also feature speeches by Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist and Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib.

Will protests in Los Angeles set the stage for more clashes Saturday as activists in hundreds of cities nationwide, including metro Detroit, organize?

Rain is expected June 13-15, so Father's Day plans may have to be indoors. No Kings day events also could be impacted statewide.
