What started as relatively peaceful No Kings protests across the country on Saturday later turned into complete chaos, with protesters resorting to violence in several parts of the country and police making a large number of arrests.
Footage from demonstrations in cities like LA, Denver and Portland shows more than 8 million people protesting across the country President TrumpStrict immigration policies, skyrocketing costs and a US war with Iran.
Protesters also appeared in Trump’s backyard in Palm Beach, Florida, to express their anger at what they described as 47’s authoritarian rule. Coast Guard was also seen deployed in the area.
At first, things were pretty calm, with protesters holding up anti-Trump signs to make their voices heard and calling for him to leave office… but then everything took a turn for the worse after protesters clashed with federal agents and counter-protesters in the aforementioned cities.
For example, in Los Angeles, people began rioting outside the Department of Homeland Security at the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building. fox news.
Stones, bottles and cement blocks were reportedly thrown at the officers, injuring two policemen who required medical treatment. DHS said some people have been arrested for assaulting federal agents.

Meanwhile, DHS agents were also reportedly attacked by protesters outside LA’s Metropolitan Detention Center. Video posted on Twitter showed officers using tear gas to disperse protesters, who were seen running away with their faces covered by smoke after throwing various objects at officers. The Los Angeles Police Department said several people were arrested for failing to disperse.
Denver also saw its share of violence. Video showed federal agents mingling with protesters on the street, as both sides threw smoke bombs at each other. In Portland, federal agents were attacked by masked agitators outside an ICE facility, with the word “Nazis” spray-painted on the building.
At this time the No Kings protests have dispersed and all traffic restrictions have been lifted.
We had thousands of people peacefully exercising their First Amendment rights in all five boroughs, and the NYPD made no protest-related arrests.

Of course, not every No Kings protest is that violent… as many marches around the world have been described as mainly peaceful. The NYPD also shared an update Saturday as the Big Apple protests dispersed, saying the department made “zero protest-related arrests” as thousands of people “peacefully” marched in the streets across the city.
