More than 10,000 people gathered peacefully in Houston on Saturday to demonstrate in support of civil rights, unity, and community strength at City Hall - for the "No Kings" day of action. Saturday was the same day as the Washington D.

Eight Tribune photographers in eight Texas cities covered Saturday’s “No Kings” protests. Here is some of their work.

Houston Mayor John Whitmire had only praise for the way the No Kings rally unfolded. "I just think we witnessed Houston at its best – I'll use the word ‘spectacular,'" Whitmire said in a mid-afternoon phone call.

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.

The anti-Trump protests in Austin remained peaceful, despite a 'credible threat' that forced a brief evacuation of the Texas Capitol complex.

In a rare display of unity, Houston Mayor John Whitmire and Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo have jointly declared that the city does not require federal assistance to manage the planned "No Kings" protests scheduled for this Saturday.

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."

Texas police say there are more than 8,000 in attendance at the Capitol for Saturday's 'No Kings' protest. Follow for live updates.
