Thousands peacefully gathered Saturday to protest the Trump administration as part of a nationwide 'No Kings' protest in nearly 2,000 locations.

Hundreds of protesters have gathered outside of the Portland U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building after a “No Kings” march in the downtown and Central Eastside area brought tens of thousands of demonstrators on Saturday afternoon.

Tens of thousands of Portlanders marched across the Willamette River this afternoon in a show of numbers aimed at opposing President Donald Trump’s deportation campaign and mocking his birthday celebration.

The demonstrations follow more than a week of large-scale protests in Los Angeles against Mr. Trump’s immigration crackdown and his decision to deploy the military there. Protesters gathered in Liberty Plaza outside of the Georgia State Capitol in Downtown Atlanta.

PORTLAND, Maine — Two people were arrested and charged with assault Saturday after organized protests in Portland, according to the Portland Police Department. The "No Kings" demonstrations took place at Monument Square and Lincoln Park, and police said Congress and Pearl Streets were closed during the Lincoln Park event.

Despite peaceful demonstrations reported in multiple cities, violence flared at some anti-Trump protests over the weekend.

“The most threatening sound to an oligarch is laughter.”

Around 2,000 protests were planned on Saturday in opposition to President Donald Trump. Large crowds turned out in cities like Portland, Denver, Chicago, Houston and Los Angeles – and in smaller communities in traditionally conservative areas.
