Thousands attended "No Kings" protests being held across the country and in many cities in North Texas on Saturday.

Protesters gathered in Dallas and Austin on Monday night to join demonstration efforts against recent immigration raids in Los Angeles and the increased presence of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in cities across the country.

The “day of defiance” protests began as early as 10 a.m. in North Texas, while the Washington, D.C., military parade for the Army’s 250th birthday starts at 5:30 p.m. Central.
