Photos from the “No Kings” protest in Chicago on Saturday as part of an anti-Donald Trump rally on the same day as his military parade in Washington, D.C., for his birthday.

Thousands of protesters gathered in downtown Chicago on Saturday for the No Kings protest and march to oppose various issues related to the Trump administration. The big picture: The peaceful march began with a rally in Daley Plaza,

A huge and peaceful crowed turned out for the "No Kings" rally, shutting down much of the Loop as part of a nationwide protest movement to denounce the Trump administration.

Several thousand protesters gathered Saturday in Oak Park, filling Scoville Park and parading along crowded Lake Street sidewalks.

In Chicago it was a largely peaceful political protest today as tens of thousands of people converged on the Loop--and in many suburban locations-- to condemn the policies of the Trump administration.

The largely peaceful protests during the "No Kings Day" demonstration in downtown Los Angeles took an intense turn in the afternoon. Police ordered the crowd to disperse at about 4:15 p.m. PDT near Alameda Street and Temple Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department's Central Division.

Extensive Chicago street closures and parking restrictions will be in place this weekend for the Puerto Rican Festival and Parade, Taste of Randolph, Midsommarfest, the Old Town Art Fair, Wells Street Art Festival and the "No Kings" protest in Daley Plaza.
