California Gov. Gavin Newsom had a brief victory in his lawsuit against President Trump, but an appeals court quickly blocked a federal judge's order.

More than 1,500 events were announced throughout the U.S. to send a loud message to President Donald Trump: “In America, we don’t do kings.”

The BriefThousands are protesting across Los Angeles and nationwide Saturday, June 14, against the Trump administration, coinciding with a military parade in D.C.Organized by "No Kings," the demonstrations aim to peacefully oppose perceived authoritarianism and corruption.

Los Angeles endured a sixth day of protests that have been largely peaceful but occasionally punctuated by violence.

Local police deployed pepper spray and non-lethal munitions late Saturday afternoon in Los Angeles as the "No Kings" protest there began to devolve into a more confrontational event.

As the military presence ramped up in Los Angeles, communities are preparing for the largest protests against Trump since he took office.

Saturday marks the first full day of Marines on duty in Los Angeles, one week after protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids ignited in LA.

"No Kings," a nationwide series of protests scheduled for Saturday, was planned as a counter to the military parade taking place in Washington D.C. on the same day. That parade is being held in honor of the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary and, coincidentally, Mr. Trump's 79th birthday.
