Tens of thousands of San Diego County residents took to the streets Saturday for "No Kings" Day, a nationwide protest against the policies of President Donald Trump coinciding with a military parade in the nation's capital.

“Our country is a republic. Our country has no kings and judging from the policies and the actions coming out of the White House and from the President, that does not actually tell us that he's acting as a king, and people are just tired of it, and they wanted to speak out,” No Kings Carlsbad Protest Organizer, Kathy Minton said.

Few arrests reported as thousands march against president ahead of military parade - Day of action comes after week-long protests in Los Angeles against Trump’s hard-line immigration policies and ICE

Protests are scheduled in Stockton and across California and the U.S. on Saturday, June 14. Here's what experts say to know and pack if you go.

The demonstrations come on the heels of protests flaring up around the country over federal immigration enforcement raids that began last week and Trump ordering National Guard troops and Marines to Los Angeles where protesters blocked a freeway and set cars on fire.
