At the end of a week when President Donald Trump sent Marines and the California National Guard to Los Angeles to quell protests, Americans across the country turned out in huge numbers to protest Trump's attempts to expand his power.

This comes after large protests erupted in Los Angeles and other major cities against the Trump administration’s immigration policies.

The "No Kings" protests were scheduled in Connecticut as early as 9:30 a.m. in Canton and Glastonbury and could last elsewhere until 6 p.m.

While the president contends that the L.A. protests against his immigration policy have been chaotic, the scenes are not as violent.

As a military parade rolls through Washington, DC, on Saturday – President Donald Trump’s birthday – millions of Americans are expected to protest in what organizers predict will be the strongest display of opposition to Trump’s administration since he took office in January.

Yesterday, according to estimates by event organizers, millions marched in protest against the Trump administration, including its recent controversial immigration enforcement raids. Hundreds of “No Kings” demonstrations took place in cities and towns throughout the U.

Despite peaceful demonstrations reported in multiple cities, violence flared at some anti-Trump protests over the weekend.
