DALLAS — Protestors gathered in cities across North Texas and across the country for "No Kings" demonstrations Saturday to express frustration about the direction of the country under President Donald Trump. Thousands, including an estimated 10,000 in Dallas alone, took part in "No Kings" demonstrations in North Texas earlier this summer, which were organized to coincide with a military parade in Washington for the 250th... Thousands more took part in events in cities across the country. Dallas police estimate 10,000 people took to the streets of Downtown Dallas in the ‘No Kings’ protest. NBC 5’s Katy Blakey reports it was a peaceful gathering and march near City Hall. Thousands took to the streets in North Texas Saturday to peacefully protest President Trump and his administration’s policies.

Dallas police estimate 10,000 people turned out for the ‘No Kings’ protest in downtown on Saturday. “I would feel this compelled if it was a Democratic president, a Republican president, an Independent president,” said Dallas resident Trey Scott. 50501, which stands for 50 states, 50 protests, 1 movement, has been organizing protests since President Donald Trump’s reelection. This weekend’s gathering marked their largest local turnout of the year. Thousands of North Texans on Saturday filled courthouse squares and parks, marched on downtown streets or held up signs along sweltering highways as part of the nationwide “No Kings” rallies in protest of Trump... On a day of celebration in Washington for the Army’s 250th birthday, including the largest military parade in the nation’s capital since 1991, the No Kings demonstrations were billed as peaceful displays of dissent...

The “no kings” theme accused the president of acting like a tyrant, on what happens to also be Trump’s birthday. Many who attended the roughly 2,000 protests in all 50 states — including Fort Worth, Arlington and Dallas — were motivated by the government’s immigration crackdown, raids and deportations. The Fort Worth protest filled Burk Burnett Park in downtown for more than three hours with boisterous chants of “this is what democracy looks like” and T-shirts slogans like “Mexicans make America great.” Across North Texas, the visible presence of police was minimal, as were the number of counter-protesters. While some demonstrators were treated for heat-related illness, there were no immediate reports of injuries, violence or arrests by late afternoon. More than 1,300 people in Arlington lined Abram Street outside the Tarrant County Subcourthouse with signs and chants like “immigrants are welcome here” and “justice now.” And in Dallas, an estimated 10,000 marched through...

Protesters lined the walkways of East Abram Street in front of the Tarrant County subcourthouse in Arlington on June 14. The protest was one of hundreds across the nation protesting President Donald Trump on his birthday. While a majority of protesters held signs that read No Kings, the name of the protest event, there were a range of issues on display, including anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement and anti-Department of Government... Local organizer Carol Raburn said that “well over 1,000 people” attended and that the protest was bigger than she anticipated. “All the stuff going down in Los Angeles is scaring people,” Raburn said. “So they kind of want to get out and express their emotion.

This gives them an outlet and lets them feel like they’ve done something to show they care.” The No Kings movement was created by 50501, a national movement spawned online that organized protests in every state following President Trump’s 2024 election win. The decentralized structure of 50501 allows local organizers to join the larger movement in its overarching efforts to “uphold the Constitution and end executive overreach,” the group’s website says.
