By The Associated Press The massive military parade commemorating the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army, which coincides with President Donald Trump ’s 79th birthday is being staged Saturday

Hundreds in El Paso joined the nationwide "No Kings" protests in opposition to President Donald Trump. The protests were peaceful.

The parade, honoring the Army’s long-planned 250th anniversary celebration and coinciding with Trump’s 79th birthday, is set to step off from the Lincoln Memorial under the threat of stormy weather in Washington and protests around the country tied to a turbulent week of immigration enforcement that has involved military deployment in Los Angeles.

Opponents of President Donald Trump’s administration are set to rally in nearly 2,000 cities and towns this weekend.

The No Kings events come after days of protests following raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Los Angeles, and Trump’s subsequent deployment of thousands of National Guard and U.S. Marines troops to “temporarily protect” ICE and other federal personnel, along with federal property.

The "No Kings" protest and march happening in Philadelphia on Saturday coincides with hundreds of rallies scheduled to take place across the country.

Demonstrators are gathering in cities across the U.S. against President Donald Trump. That’s happening Saturday as officials urge calm, National Guard troops mobilize and Trump attends a military parade in Washington to mark the Army’s 250th anniversary.

Dozens of No Kings protests are scheduled for June 14 in Texas, including in Austin, Houston and San Antonio. Arlington: 10 a.m. to noon at Arlington Sub Courthouse, 700 E. Abram St.

No Kings protests are happening in Tennessee in response to President Donald Trump's military and birthday parade and speech.

Saturday tens of thousands are expected to turn out in Philadelphia, which is holding the so-called flagship No Kings demonstration against Donald Trump administration policies.
