Thousands peacefully gathered Saturday to protest the Trump administration as part of a nationwide 'No Kings' protest in nearly 2,000 locations.

Tens of thousands of Portlanders marched across the Willamette River this afternoon in a show of numbers aimed at opposing President Donald Trump’s deportation campaign and mocking his birthday celebration.

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.

Federal officers used tear gas and crowd-control munitions as tensions escalated. By late evening, Portland police said the situation had stabilized.

No Kings' rallies were held in dozens of Maine communities on Saturday. Protesters called out President Donald Trump's immigration policies on the same day as a military parade in Washington, D.C.

“The most threatening sound to an oligarch is laughter.”
