The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said around 8,000 people showed up to Saturday’s protest. Metro police arrested 15 people at the ‘No Kings’ demonstration.

Crowds gathered in Downtown Las Vegas Saturday evening as part of demonstrations nationwide for the "No Kings" protests against the Trump administration.

The “No Kings” protests taking place across the country on Saturday will be peaceful protests against an increasingly authoritarian Trump regime. These protests, now taking place in more than 2,000 sites across the U.S., have been planned for months and are NOT “anti-ICE” protests.

The demonstrations, part of the 50 protests, 50 states movement known as 50501, have been planned by various progressive organizations for weeks, with the left-leaning group Indivisible helping organize the Reno and Carson City gatherings.

Protests across U.S. held on the same day as the Army 250th anniversary parade, and Trump's birthday, in Washington, D.C.

The “No Kings” protests were scheduled Saturday in hundreds of cities across the United States, including at 5 p.m. at the federal building in downtown Las Vegas, where hundreds a demonstration on Wednesday led to nearly 100 arrests, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Despite triple digit heat, thousands gathered in Downtown Las Vegas for the nationwide “No Kings” rally against the Trump administration and presidential overreach on Saturday.

Las Vegas is feeling the heat of the immigration fight going into the weekend. Nearly 100 protesters were hauled off after an anti-ICE rally turned confrontational. Organizers say they will be back out on Saturday.

Salt Lake City police say a demonstrator who was shot at the city's “No Kings” protest has died and that the bullet that killed him appears to have been fired by one of the demonstration's peacekeeper
