News coverage of the immigration raids and protests in Southern California has transfixed Mexico, where reports have heavily sided with the immigrants against U.S. efforts to detain and deport them.

Multiple protests took place throughout Northern California as part of the "No Kings" movement on Saturday. The protests coincide with President Donald Trump's birthday and the military parade celebrating the 250th anniversary of the U.

Opponents of President Donald Trump's administration on Saturday rallied in nearly 2,000 locations across the country, with thousands demonstrating in Northern California.

More than 1,500 events were announced throughout the U.S. to send a loud message to President Donald Trump: “In America, we don’t do kings.”

Organizers said demonstrations were arranged to reject authoritarianism, billionaire-first politics and the militarization of the country’s democracy.

The Los Angeles Police Department has declared all of downtown as an unlawful assembly, telling all demonstrators to leave the area immediately. "Downtown Los Angeles has been declared as an UNLAWFUL ASSEMBLY. You are to leave the Downtown Area immediately," police said on X.

In Los Angeles, 38 people were arrested downtown on Saturday night, police said Sunday. In Huntington Beach, police arrested a convicted felon they said had a loaded handgun.

Protesters began gathering early on the west steps of the state Capitol in Sacramento as a so-called “No Kings” protest against Trump administration policies, part of a nationwide day of demonstrations meant to coincide with a military parade marking the 250th anniversary of the U.

No Kings protests took place across the country from New York City to Atlanta to Los Angeles. The 50501 Movement, which stands for 50 states, 50 protests, one movement, said the nationwide protests are aimed at calling attention to what they say are authoritarian actions of the Trump administration.

Gavin Newsom says the federal military intervention in Los Angeles marks the onset of a much broader effort by President Donald Trump to overturn political and cultural norms.

Federal authorities raided a swap meet in Santa Fe Springs Saturday as tens of thousands of 'No Kings' protesters flooded the streets of downtown Los Angeles in opposition to President Trump’s policies.
