AUSTIN, Texas — As the official "No Kings" protest at the Texas Capitol ended, police closed a number of streets in Downtown Austin as protesters began walking through downtown.

As part of nationwide protests against Trump administration policies, Texans hit the streets in at least sixty cities.

No Kings protests come on the heels of protests across the country over federal immigration enforcement raids that began last week and Trump ordering

The “day of defiance” protests began as early as 10 a.m. in North Texas, while the Washington, D.C., military parade for the Army’s 250th birthday starts at 5:30 p.m. Central.

"I think we will see the largest peaceful single day protests that this country has seen certainly since the first Trump term," said Indivisible cofounder Ezra Levin, one of the organizers of the "No Kings" protest effort.
