7 million filled streets nationwide for peaceful, exuberant No Kings protests. [View all]



Streets filled across the country for 'No Kings' peaceful rallies protesting TrumpActivists and advocacy groups staged a second round of "No Kings" protests across the country on Saturday in response to what they call abuse of power by President Donald Trump and his administration, including his immigration crackdown and the sending of troops into American cities.

Organizers said 7 million people mustered from Boston to Los Angeles packing streets with signs and chants protesting the administration's policies such as his mass deportations.

"The millions of people protesting are centered around a fierce love for our country. A country that we believe is worth fighting for,” MoveOn Executive Director Katie Bethell said in a statement.

Republicans contended the protests were "hate America" rallies and claimed they're prolonging the federal government shutdown.
