In Muskingum Park, residents of the Mid-Ohio Valley were coming together for a different reason. Lisa Bammerlin, a concerned citizen, said over 200 people came out to be in one of the hundreds of No Kings protests taking place across the United States.

Opponents of President Donald Trump's administration on Saturday rallied in nearly 2,000 locations across the country, with thousands demonstrating in Northern California.

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.

Thousands of "No Kings Day" protests are set to be held throughout the country on Saturday to protest the Trump administration.

Thousands gathered in Daley Plaza and in suburban events in protests timed to coincide with a military parade in Washington celebrating the Army's 250th anniversary and President Donald Trump's 79th birthday.

No Kings” organizers described the events as a “nationwide day of defiance” against President Donald Trump and authoritarianism.

In the wake of California violence, Texas National Guard will be on hand for the  downtown event. Organizers say they expect things to be peaceful.

The Houston demonstration is one of several planned in the region throughout the day and is expected to draw thousands of protesters.

Evansville's local protest is set for 1 p.m. Saturday at the Federal Courthouse at 101 NW Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. Organizing groups are Indivisible Evansville with Evansville Resistance. The protest will feature speakers on social justice, a representative from the Vanderburgh County Democratic Party and more.
