"No Kings" protests against the Trump administration are taking place today in and around New York City as part of nationwide demonstrations. Fifth Avenue was closed to traffic from 42nd Street to 23rd Street in Manhattan as protesters marched from Bryant Park.

The demonstrations follow more than a week of large-scale protests in Los Angeles against Mr. Trump’s immigration crackdown and his decision to deploy the military there. Protesters gathered in Liberty Plaza outside of the Georgia State Capitol in Downtown Atlanta.

Over 1,000 Queens residents marched through Forest Hills rejecting the idea of executive overreach and declaring that Trump “is no king.”

WNYT reports Catherine Benincasa, 32, of Manchester, New Hampshire, was arrested Saturday after an argument escalated during an anti-Trump rally in Warrensburg, N.Y. She’s been charged with second-degree menacing, third-degree assault, and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon.

Even the weather was riled up during Saturday’s “No Kings” march in Manhattan. Yet the steady drizzle couldn’t stop tens of thousands of New Yorkers from processing 15 blocks—from Bryant Park down to Madison Square Park—to protest the Trump administration’s immigration policies.

“People are fed up.” That is why hundreds of people showed up for the No Kings protest at Campus 805’s Butler Green in Huntsville, according to organizer Jeff Angle.

Saturday marks the first full day of Marines on duty in Los Angeles, one week after protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids ignited in LA and spread to other cities across the U.S.,
