"No Kings" protests against the Trump administration are taking place today in and around New York City as part of nationwide demonstrations. Fifth Avenue was closed to traffic from 42nd Street to 23rd Street in Manhattan as protesters marched from Bryant Park.
Even the weather was riled up during Saturday’s “No Kings” march in Manhattan. Yet the steady drizzle couldn’t stop tens of thousands of New Yorkers from processing 15 blocks—from Bryant Park down to Madison Square Park—to protest the Trump administration’s immigration policies.
Those millions included an estimated 200,000 people in Los Angeles, 100,000 in Philadelphia, 70,000 in Seattle and over 50,000 in New York.
Over 90 "No Kings" protests were taking place Saturday, June 14, across New York state as millions across the country are expected to take part in a "nationwide day of defiance."
