President Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday," No Kings organizers wrote. "A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington.

Protesters criticized the administration's actions, including its crackdown on immigration, and condemned the fatal shooting of a Democratic Minnesota lawmaker earlier Saturday.

Around 2,000 protests and rallies were planned nationwide, with thousands of people also attending staged “No Kings” events in Manitowoc, Sheboygan and Green Bay. Rallies were canceled in Minnesota out of caution following shootings targeting local lawmakers.

People in northern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula plan to hold protests Saturday in coordination with those nationwide against Trump Administration policies.

Joining events scheduled nationwide, more than a dozen “No Kings” protests countering the actions of President Donald Trump were held Saturday around Montgomery County, including demonstrations in Bethesda, Gaithersburg, Rockville and Silver Spring, according to organizers.
