Texas police say there are more than 10,000 people in attendance at the Capitol for Saturday's 'No Kings' protest. Follow for live updates.
The “No Kings” day of action happened the same day as, and in opposition to, a Washington, D.C. military parade on President Donald Trump’s birthday. Planning for the parade began two years ago and was intended to commemorate the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary.
As part of nationwide protests against Trump administration policies, Texans hit the streets in at least sixty cities.
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.
A breakdown of who was charged with what and why wasn't immediately available, but the protest and related marches shut down streets throughout the day and into Saturday night.
