Between activism, election results and protest turnout, the prevailing political winds suggest the backlash to the president is real.

ANN ARBOR, MI — Ann Arbor’s “No Kings” protest on Saturday largely took aim at President Donald Trump, but two of the event’s speakers went off script with a different message.

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.

Thousands of "No Kings Day" protests are set to be held throughout the country on Saturday to protest the Trump administration.

Tens of thousands of Missourians joined in Saturday's "No Kings Day" protests, including thousands here in Kansas City.

The anti-Trump protests in Austin remained peaceful, despite a 'credible threat' that forced a brief evacuation of the Texas Capitol complex.

Events held in big cities, small towns and everything in between served as counterpoint to military parade in Washington coinciding with President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday.
