The sounds of one of Chicago’s largest protests in recent memory reverberated throughout downtown Saturday, as tens of thousands gathered in a united admonishment of President Trump.

The largely peaceful protests during the "No Kings Day" demonstration in downtown Los Angeles took an intense turn in the afternoon. Police ordered the crowd to disperse at about 4:15 p.m. PDT near Alameda Street and Temple Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department's Central Division.

Thousands gathered in Daley Plaza and in suburban events in protests timed to coincide with a military parade in Washington celebrating the Army's 250th anniversary and President Donald Trump's 79th birthday.

A huge and peaceful crowed turned out for the "No Kings" rally, shutting down much of the Loop as part of a nationwide protest movement to denounce the Trump administration.

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.

Thousands of "No Kings Day" protests are set to be held throughout the country on Saturday to protest the Trump administration.

"No Kings" protests have been organized nationwide in response to a massive military parade in Washington, D.C.

Seventeen people were arrested at the Chicago ICE protest that drew thousands of people into the Loop Tuesday at the height of rush hour. Four of them face felony charges. Mayor Brandon Johnson spoke Wednesday afternoon about the city's response to the protest and their plan for the weekend,
