The event was one of more than 2,000 “No Kings” rallies held across the country on Saturday, protesting what organizers call “authoritarianism, billionaire-first politics, and the militarization of our democracy.

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.

Another wave of protests is set to take place across Georgia this weekend as part of a national day of action against the Trump administration.

Hundreds rally in Atlanta's Liberty Plaza for 'No Kings' to protest Trump's policies. Chants of 'Immigrants are welcome here' echoed loudly.

Protesters in Georgia are planning a day of defiance against Trump, with events in Atlanta and other cities nationwide.

Metro Atlanta journalist Mario Guevara, known for his coverage of immigration raids and advocacy for immigrant communities, was arrested Saturday during a protest in DeKalb County, according to Que Onnda.

Minutes after Atlanta’s “No Kings” protest began, organizers announced that the venue’s 5,000-person capacity had been reached.
