Bakersfield, United States - June 15, 2025 06/14/2025 05:00 pm GMT-0700 DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Thousands of protesters took to the streets across the nation Saturday morning, including in Los Angeles, to denounce President Donald Trump’s policies during a demonstration dubbed “No Kings Day.” The No Kings protest in Los Angeles was fueled by recent actions of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in the city and Trump’s decision to mobilize the National Guard to assist federal agents during last week’s demonstrations. No Kings Day coincides with a parade in Washington, D.C., which marks the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States Army, and also falls on the president's 79th birthday. Last week’s protests against ICE in downtown Los Angeles began peacefully but escalated into violence, resulting in injuries to both protesters and law enforcement, as well as significant property damage. Law enforcement agencies in Los Angeles are preparing for large crowds during the No Kings march and are taking precautions to address any potential violent outbreaks.
