More than 60 rallies are planned across Texas in a nationwide protest targeting the Trump administration. An arrest was made near Austin related to a threat against state lawmakers who attended a protest at the Capitol.

Tens of thousands of Americans joined "No Kings" protests across the United States against the Trump administration.

In a rare display of unity, Houston Mayor John Whitmire and Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo have jointly declared that the city does not require federal assistance to manage the planned "No Kings" protests scheduled for this Saturday.

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.
