In Los Angeles, 38 people were arrested downtown on Saturday night, police said Sunday. In Huntington Beach, police arrested a convicted felon they said had a loaded handgun.
Multiple protests took place throughout Northern California as part of the "No Kings" movement on Saturday. The protests coincide with President Donald Trump's birthday and the military parade celebrating the 250th anniversary of the U.
The Los Angeles Police Department has declared all of downtown as an unlawful assembly, telling all demonstrators to leave the area immediately. "Downtown Los Angeles has been declared as an UNLAWFUL ASSEMBLY. You are to leave the Downtown Area immediately," police said on X.
More than 1,500 events were announced throughout the U.S. to send a loud message to President Donald Trump: “In America, we don’t do kings.”
LAist reporters witnessed LAPD officers firing less-lethal munitions into crowds and taunting protestors from a helicopter. State law and a federal court order restrict the use of crowd dispersal weapons unless specific criteria are met.

Anti-Trump protesters rallied across the country yesterday as the president presided over a military parade in Washington. The administration’s immigration crackdown has prompted demonstrations in major US cities over the past week.
