The No Kings events come after days of protests following raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Los Angeles, and Trump’s subsequent deployment of thousands of National Guard and U.S. Marines troops to “temporarily protect” ICE and other federal personnel, along with federal property.

LOS ANGELES - Los Angeles is bracing for a second week of protests as ICE raids continue to happen across Southern California. The new round of protests comes as the No Kings demonstrations were held across the United States on Saturday to protest the policies of the Trump administration.

That’s part of why George Atkinson, a former high school government teacher, felt compelled to join a protest in downtown Houston on Saturday. The 89-year-old affixed a sign to his walker that read, “The clothes have no emperor! He’s all hat and no cattle!”

Seven "No Kings" demonstrations are planned in Palm Beach County. They will mark a renewal of dissent following a series of gatherings at Tesla showrooms to air criticism of Elon Musk and the administration's cost-cutting measures this spring.

Following a week of protests across the country, nearly a dozen rallies are planned for the area this weekend, including one in downtown Raleigh.

“No Kings is a nationwide day of defiance,” the organizers write on their website. “From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we’re taking action to reject authoritarianism — and show the world what democracy really looks like.” Here’s what to know about No Kings protests in the Charlotte area.

The many people hitting the streets to defy President Donald Trump in Saturday's planned "No Kings" protests may see some dark clouds.
