LIVE UPDATES: ‘No Kings’ protests planned across US in opposition to Trump

Key Points:

• Protests under the "No Kings" banner erupted nationwide Saturday, targeting the Trump administration and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), with major events in Portland, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., New York, and Minnesota, drawing thousands including political figures like Sen. Bernie Sanders and Gov. Tim Walz.
• In Portland, protests escalated outside an ICE facility, leading to arrests for assault and criminal mischief after agitators attacked federal officers; police warned of possible use of crowd control measures including impact munitions.
• Los Angeles saw about 1,000 rioters surround the Roybal Federal Building, throwing objects at law enforcement and prompting federal tear gas deployment and multiple arrests; the LAPD declared a tactical alert in response.
• The "No Kings" protests are coordinated by a large network of approximately 500 groups with combined revenues around $3 billion, including leftist and communist organizations, with funding links to figures like George Soros and Neville Roy Singham.
• Prominent figures such as Robert De Niro, Elizabeth Warren, Bruce Springsteen, and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani publicly supported the protests, denouncing President Trump’s policies and calling for resistance against what they describe as authoritarianism.
