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

HOUSTON — A massive crowd gathered outside Houston City Hall on Saturday morning as part of the nationwide " No Kings " protest. It’s one of dozens of rallies happening Saturday across all 50 states.

According to organizers, the demonstrations have been purposefully scheduled to correspond with President Donald Trump’s military-themed parade set to take place in Washington, D.C. on Saturday. The parade will honor the 250th birthday of the U.

Thousands of Houstonians furious about President Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration policies and funding cuts to education and healthcare, showed up for the No King's protest at Houston City Hall Saturday.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said Thursday he has ordered the deployment of more than 5,000 Texas National Guard troops, along with more than 2,000 state police, to help local law enforcement manage protests against President Donald Trump and the ongoing federal immigration raids.

Around 15,000 people showed up for Houston’s “No Kings” protest Saturday morning, and the guy in the American flag mask towered over the rest of the crowd. At the edge of the protest, he was moving fast and purposefully, and when he bumped me, he nearly knocked me off the sidewalk.

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