The sounds of one of Chicago’s largest protests in recent memory reverberated throughout downtown Saturday, as tens of thousands gathered in a united admonishment of President Trump.

Thousands gathered in Daley Plaza and in suburban events in protests timed to coincide with a military parade in Washington celebrating the Army's 250th anniversary and President Donald Trump's 79th birthday.

A huge and peaceful crowed turned out for the "No Kings" rally, shutting down much of the Loop as part of a nationwide protest movement to denounce the Trump administration.

In Chicago it was a largely peaceful political protest today as tens of thousands of people converged on the Loop--and in many suburban locations-- to condemn the policies of the Trump administration.

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.

The demonstrations follow more than a week of large-scale protests in Los Angeles against Mr. Trump’s immigration crackdown and his decision to deploy the military there. Protesters gathered in Liberty Plaza outside of the Georgia State Capitol in Downtown Atlanta.
