Thousands peacefully gathered at Civic Center and Waterfront Park, joining "No Kings" events across the region and the U.S.

Elon Musk posted a cryptic message about the "No Kings" protests after activists took to the streets across the U.S. over the weekend.

Los Angeles police have issued a dispersal order at No Kings protests downtown. Officers shot tear gas and rubber bullets at what they called "outside agitators."

Protesters filled streets in hundreds of cities across the US to oppose President Donald Trump’s administration on Saturday, as he held a military parade in Washington.

The demonstrations come on the heels of protests flaring up around the country over federal immigration enforcement raids that began last week and Trump ordering National Guard troops and Marines to Los Angeles where protesters blocked a freeway and set cars on fire.

Protests across U.S. held on the same day as the Army 250th anniversary parade, and Trump's birthday, in Washington, D.C.
