Masses of demonstrators packed into streets, parks and plazas across the United States on Saturday to protest President Donald Trump, marching through downtowns and small towns, blaring anti-authoritarian chants mixed with support for protecting... Organizers of the "No Kings" demonstrations said millions had marched in hundreds of events. Governors across the U.S. had urged calm and vowed no tolerance for violence, while some mobilized the National Guard ahead of marchers gathering. Confrontations were isolated. But police in Los Angeles, where protests over federal immigration enforcement raids erupted a week earlier and sparked demonstrations across the country, used tear gas and crowd-control munitions to clear out protesters after the...

Officers in Portland also fired tear gas and projectiles to disperse a crowd that protested in front of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building well into the evening. And in Salt Lake City, Utah, police were investigating a shooting during a march downtown that left one person critically injured. Three people were taken into custody, including a man believed to be the shooter, who also suffered a gunshot wound, according to Police Chief Brian Redd. Redd said it was too early to tell if the shooting was politically motivated and whether those involved knew each other. The shooter appeared to be walking alongside the group of thousands who were marching, he added.

Video feeds showed demonstrators running for safety as gunshots rang out. Protests against President Donald Trump have taken place in towns and cities across the US in a coordinated event titled "No Kings". The demonstrations were held to counter a rare military parade hosted by Trump in Washington DC, and came after days of protests in Los Angeles and elsewhere over his immigration policies. Lawmakers, union leaders and activists gave speeches in cities including New York, Philadelphia and Houston to crowds waving American flags and placards critical of Trump. The military parade on Saturday evening, also Trump's birthday, was timed to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the US Army. He warned that any protests at the parade would be met with "heavy force".

Organisers said there were hundreds of protests with millions of participants. • Massive rallies: Huge crowds attended “No Kings” protests across the country Saturday, denouncing what organizers describe as President Donald Trump’s authoritarian policies. • Military parade: The protests were held as Trump presided over a parade in Washington, DC. The event celebrating the 250th anniversary of the US Army, which coincided with the president’s birthday, featured tanks and other military hardware rolling through the nation’s capital. • Protest epicenter: After a day of mass demonstrations proceeded peacefully, some protesters clashed with police in downtown Los Angeles ahead of a nighttime curfew. Protests against Trump’s immigration crackdown in LA were a flashpoint in a week of nationwide demonstrations.

• Safety fears: Organizers canceled protests in Minnesota after a gunman shot two state lawmakers and their spouses early Saturday morning, killing one of the couples. In Texas, the state Capitol was evacuated due to a “credible threat” against legislators planning to attend a protest.
