Thousands of demonstrators hit the streets of South Florida, from Mar-a-Lago to Miami, to condemn the policies of President Donald Trump on Saturday during a long planned “No Kings” protest.
The South Florida protesters were part of a nationwide rally of Trump opponents who are countering the president’s orchestrated military parade Saturday to mark the Army’s 250th anniversary — and the president’s birthday — in Washington, D.C.
Protests in nearly 2,000 locations were scheduled across the country, from city blocks and small towns to courthouse steps and community parks, organizers said. No events were being held in Washington, D.C., where the military parade was taking place in the evening.
