Despite triple digit heat, thousands gathered in Downtown Las Vegas for the nationwide “No Kings” rally against the Trump administration and presidential overreach on Saturday.

Protests across U.S. held on the same day as the Army 250th anniversary parade, and Trump's birthday, in Washington, D.C.

The demonstrations, part of the 50 protests, 50 states movement known as 50501, have been planned by various progressive organizations for weeks, with the left-leaning group Indivisible helping organize the Reno and Carson City gatherings.

The “No Kings” protests taking place across the country on Saturday will be peaceful protests against an increasingly authoritarian Trump regime. These protests, now taking place in more than 2,000 sites across the U.S., have been planned for months and are NOT “anti-ICE” protests.

Las Vegas is feeling the heat of the immigration fight going into the weekend. Nearly 100 protesters were hauled off after an anti-ICE rally turned confrontational. Organizers say they will be back out on Saturday.

Ahead of Saturday’s “no kings” rally, Las Vegas police officers staged outside the federal courthouse Thursday.

As a military parade rolls through Washington, DC, on Saturday – President Donald Trump’s birthday – millions of Americans are expected to protest in what organizers predict will be the strongest display of opposition to Trump’s administration since he took office in January.
