Demonstrations occurred across the United States on Saturday, June 14, as 'No Kings Day' protesters took aim at President Donald Trump's administration and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids.

At least one person was critically injured Saturday in a shooting at a protest against President Donald Trump in Salt Lake City. It came hours after two Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota were shot dead by a gunman.
