Columbus' massive Pride celebration takes place June 14. Meanwhile, No Kings rallies are planned across the region, state and nation.

The largely peaceful protests during the "No Kings Day" demonstration in downtown Los Angeles took an intense turn in the afternoon. Police ordered the crowd to disperse at about 4:15 p.m. PDT near Alameda Street and Temple Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department's Central Division.

Columbus residents joined with protesters around the U.S. Saturday for a “No Kings” rally in downtown Columbus at City Hall.

The "No Kings" protest, organized by Ohio 50501, drew hundreds of people to the Ohio Statehouse denouncing the Trump administration.

The largest "No Kings" protest on June 14 is expected to take place in Philadelphia as a nod to the country's history and to avoid accusations that protesters are opposing the Army parade in the nation's capital, organizers have said.

Northeast Ohio cities are preparing for a wave of protests Saturday as part of "No Kings Day," a national movement opposing what organizers call increasing authoritarianism and political overreach.

The procession, with more than 6,000 soldiers and 128 Army tanks, was one Trump tried to make happen in his first term.
