Protests against President Trump's deportation policies have divided Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill and across the country. Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas, praised the President's decision to deploy the National Guard in California.
Thousands of anti-Trump protests are erupting across the United States this weekend under the banner of “No Kings” day.
Dozens of No Kings protests are scheduled for June 14 in Texas, including in Austin, Houston and San Antonio. Arlington: 10 a.m. to noon at Arlington Sub Courthouse, 700 E. Abram St.
At noon Saturday, protesters were crowded into City Hall Plaza in Downtown Dallas and Burk Burnett Park in Downtown Fort Worth.
The "No Kings" protests are set to take place to counter what organizers say are Trump’s plans to feed his ego on his 79th birthday and Flag Day. "No Kings" will follow several days of nationwide protests against federal immigration raids including in Los Angeles, where Trump's deployment of the National Guard further agitated his opponents.
As part of nationwide protests against Trump administration policies, Texans hit the streets in at least sixty cities.
"No Kings Day" is a nationwide day of peaceful protest organized to coincide with a military parade in Washington, D.C., marking the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. According to CBS News, the parade and related festivities are expected to cost between $25 million and $45 million.
