The coordinated day of action was timed as a direct counter to Donald Trump's highly publicized celebration marking the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary and his own 79th birthday, which included military-style displays in Washington, D.C. Protesters denounced the militarization of democracy, anti-immigrant policies, and what they see as the growing normalization of authoritarian behavior under Trump's leadership.

Police officers in major cities suffered injuries at the hands of violent agitators over the weekend, with several rioters throwing fireworks and other objects at the officers.

In response to President Donald Trump and his administration's ramping up deportation efforts of illegal migrants, protesters throughout the country assembled for the "No Kings" demonstrations on Saturday.

The demonstrations coincided with the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary parade, which happened to fall on the president's birthday.
