Tens of thousands of lefty “No Kings” protesters took to the streets of New York City and across the country Saturday in a “day of defiance” against President Trump as the US Army held its 250th anniversary military parade in Washington,

Many thousands of protesters jammed the streets around Manhattan’s Bryant Park on Saturday afternoon, defying the drizzle and chanting “No ICE! No KKK! No fascist USA!” before spilling into an enormous march down Fifth Avenue.

The group rallied near a building that houses an immigration court, which has become a flashpoint amid the arrests of migrants in courthouses.

More New York City protests took place Monday, along with similar demonstrations across the country, against immigration raids conducted by the Trump administration’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency,

Mayor Eric Adams on Monday addressed the recent protests in Los Angeles over ICE policies, saying similar violence in the in New York City will not be tolerated.

New York police have started detaining protesters after warning that the anti-ICE marchers should stay on the side walk. CNN has reached out the NYPD for more information. Shimon Prokupecz describes what he sees on the streets of New York City.

The No Kings Day of Defiance protests will happen during the military parade in Washington on Saturday for the Army’s 250th anniversary — which coincides with Trump’s birthday.

"In America, we don't do kings," the No Kings website reads. "They've defied our courts, deported Americans, disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil rights, and slashed our services. The corruption has gone too. far. [cq] No thrones. No crowns. No kings."
