The American Civil Liberties Union said over 5 million people participated in protests against the Trump administration on June 14.

Opponents of President Donald Trump’s administration are set to rally in nearly 2,000 cities and towns this weekend.

A 33-mile trip from one protest in Annapolis, Md., to the parade grandstand in front of the White House was like a journey between two different countries.

Millions protested against President Donald Trump's policies. Trump responded by ordering ICE to conduct mass deportations. The order targets cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York. Trump claims these cities use undocumented immigrants to boost Democratic power.

Millions of demonstrators mobilized around the country as a smaller, subdued crowd gathered to witness the display of grandeur and might in the nation’s muggy capital.

That’s part of why George Atkinson, a former high school government teacher, felt compelled to join a protest in downtown Houston on Saturday. The 89-year-old affixed a sign to his walker that read, “The clothes have no emperor! He’s all hat and no cattle!”

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

The"No Kings" protests are planned to oppose what they see as Trump's power grab. The number of planned events is nearly double that of the April 5 "Hands Off" protest that saw millions of Americans turn out in big and small cities nationwide.
