UPDATE: 6 a.m.
Opponents of President Donald Trump’s administration are set to rally in cities and towns across the U.S. during a military parade in Washington, D.C., Saturday to mark the Army’s 250th anniversary, which coincides with Trump’s birthday.
Organizers say these “No Kings” protests are set to counter what they are calling Trump’s plans to feed his ego on his 79th birthday and Flag Day.
In Oregon, more than 50 “No Kings” demonstrations are scheduled, starting as early as 5:30 a.m. Washington state organizers have scheduled more than 80.
Nationwide, protests are expected in more than 2,000 locations, according to organizers.
These “No Kings” gatherings come after days of nationwide protests against federal immigration raids, including in Portland, in Spokane, and in Los Angeles — where Trump’s deployment of the National Guard further agitated his opponents.
The Trump administration has said the raids are necessary for removing “violent criminal illegal immigrants from communities.”
The “No Kings” protests are expected to be the largest anti-Trump demonstrations in the Pacific Northwest since the “Hands Off” rallies held more than two months ago.
