"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.

Tens of thousands of lefty “No Kings” protesters took to the streets of New York City and across the country Saturday in a “day of defiance” against President Trump as the US Army held its 250th anniversary military parade in Washington,

The largely peaceful protests during the "No Kings Day" demonstration in downtown Los Angeles took an intense turn in the afternoon. Police ordered the crowd to disperse at about 4:15 p.m. PDT near Alameda Street and Temple Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department's Central Division.

Those millions included an estimated 200,000 people in Los Angeles, 100,000 in Philadelphia, 70,000 in Seattle and over 50,000 in New York.

Many thousands of protesters jammed the streets around Manhattan’s Bryant Park on Saturday afternoon, defying the drizzle and chanting “No ICE! No KKK! No fascist USA!” before spilling into an enormous march down Fifth Avenue.

The protests are aligned with President Donald Trump's June 14 military parade in Washington D.C., which is set to honor the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary, organizers said. June 14 is also Flag Day and Trump's 79th birthday.

A bystander was fatally shot after security members at the demonstration confronted a man who was running toward the crowd with an AR-15-style rifle, the police said.

New York City saw thousands attend demonstrations against the Trump administration Saturday, just hours before a military parade in Washington, D.C. MSNBC host Antonia Hylton is joined at the New York City “No Kings Day” protest by actor and activist Mark Ruffalo,
