Raleigh had two demonstrations on Saturday as part of nationwide protests against President Trump and his policies.

A 33-mile trip from one protest in Annapolis, Md., to the parade grandstand in front of the White House was like a journey between two different countries.

Organizers had said that they hoped the rallies in more than 2,000 cities — dubbed “No Kings Nationwide Day of Defiance” — would be peaceful and free of confrontation. Yet the day was marred by the news of deadly violence overnight in Minneapolis,

Millions gathered over the weekend at 'No Kings' events to protest the actions and policies of President Donald Trump.

The anti-Trump protests in Austin remained peaceful, despite a 'credible threat' that forced a brief evacuation of the Texas Capitol complex.

Tens of thousands of Americans joined "No Kings" protests across the United States against the Trump administration.

The Houston demonstration is one of several planned in the region throughout the day and is expected to draw thousands of protesters.
