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 first of two rallies against the Trump administration in North Carolina’s capital city took place on Capital Boulevard near Triangle Town Center in North Raleigh.

"In America, we don't do kings," the No Kings website reads. "They've defied our courts, deported Americans, disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil rights, and slashed our services. The corruption has gone too. far. [cq] No thrones. No crowns. No kings."

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

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

The LAPD said on social media that the people in the crowd were throwing "rocks, bricks, bottles and other objects" while they were near the federal building.

The Houston demonstration is one of several planned in the region throughout the day and is expected to draw thousands of protesters.

"No Kings Day" demonstrations are planned across North Texas this weekend to protest President Donald Trump and his administration's policies. On Saturday, June 14, demonstrations are planned in a number of cities in the Metroplex,
