Cities brace for large crowds at anti-Trump 'No Kings' demonstrations across the US
PHILADELPHIA -- Cities large and small were preparing for major demonstrations Saturday across the U.S. against President Donald Trump, as officials urge calm, National Guard troops mobilize and Trump attends a military parade in Washington to mark the Army's 250th anniversary. A flagship 'No Kings' march and rally are planned in Philadelphia, but no events are scheduled to take place in Washington, D.C., where the military parade will take place on Trump's birthday The demonstrations are gaining additional fuel from protests flaring up around the country over federal immigration enforcement raids and Trump ordering National Guard troops and Marines to Los Angeles where protesters blocked a freeway and set cars on fire. Police responded with tear gas, rubber bullets and flash-bang grenades while officials enforced curfews in Los Angeles and Democratic governors called Trump's Guard deployment 'an alarming abuse of power' that "shows the Trump administration does not trust local law enforcement.' Governors and city officials vowed to protect the right to protest and to show no tolerance for violence. Republican governors in Virginia, Texas, Nebraska and Missouri are mobilizing National Guard troops to help law enforcement manage demonstrations. There will be 'zero tolerance' for violence, destruction or disrupting traffic, and "if you violate the law, you're going to be arrested," Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin told reporters Friday. In Missouri, Gov. Mike Kehoe issued a similar message, vowing to take a proactive approach and not to 'wait for chaos to ensue." Nebraska's governor on Friday also signed an emergency proclamation for activating his state's National Guard, a step his office called 'a precautionary measure in reaction to recent instances of civil unrest across the country.' Organizers say that one march will go to the gates of Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, where Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis warned demonstrators that the 'line is very clear' and not to cross it. Governors also urged calm. On social media, Washington state Gov. Bob Ferguson, a Democrat, called for peaceful protests over the weekend, to ensure Trump doesn't send military to the state. 'Donald Trump wants to be able to say that we cannot handle our own public safety in Washington state,' Ferguson said. In a statement Friday, Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, urged 'protestors to remain peaceful and calm as they exercise their First Amendment right to make their voices heard.' Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, said his administration and state police are working with police in Philadelphia ahead of what organizers estimate could be a crowd approaching 100,000 people. Philadelphia's top prosecutor, District Attorney Larry Krasner, warned that anyone coming to Philadelphia to break the law or immigration agents exceeding their authority will face arrest. He invoked civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. as a guide for demonstrators. 'If you are doing what Martin Luther King would have done, you're going to be fine," Krasner told a news conference. Some law enforcement agencies announced they were ramping up efforts for the weekend. In California, state troopers will be on 'tactical alert," which means all days off are cancelled for all officers. The 'No Kings' theme was orchestrated by the 50501 Movement, to support democracy and against what they call the authoritarian actions of the Trump administration. The name 50501 stands for 50 states, 50 protests, one movement. Protests earlier this year have denounced Trump and billionaire adviser Elon Musk. Protesters have called for Trump to be 'dethroned' as they compare his actions to that of a king and not a democratically elected president. The No Kings Day of Defiance has been organized to reject authoritarianism, billionaire-first politics and the militarization of the country's democracy, according to a statement by organizers. Organizers intend for the protests to counter the Army's 250th anniversary celebration — which Trump has ratcheted up to include a military parade, which is estimated to cost $25 million to $45 million that the Army expects to attract as many as 200,000 people. The event will feature hundreds of military vehicles and aircraft and thousands of soldiers. It also happens to be Trump's 79th birthday and Flag Day. 'The flag doesn't belong to President Trump. It belongs to us,' the 'No Kings' website says. 'On June 14th, we're showing up everywhere he isn't — to say no thrones, no crowns, no kings.' Protests in nearly 2,000 locations are scheduled around the country, from city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, organizers said. Demonstrations are expected to include speeches and marches, organizers said in a call Wednesday. The group says a core principle behind all 'No Kings' events is a commitment to nonviolent action, and participants are expected to seek to de-escalate any confrontation. No weapons of any kind should be taken to 'No Kings' events, according to the website. The No Kings Day of Defiance is expected to be the largest single-day mobilization since Trump returned to office, organizers said. Organizers said they are preparing for millions of people to take to the streets across all 50 states and commonwealths.

Trump's L.A. Marines Zip-Tie Veteran in First Ever Detention
Having been deployed to Los Angeles by President Donald Trump in order to quell protests against ICE, U.S. Marines detained their first civilian on Friday: an Army veteran on his way to the Department of Veterans Affairs. After being shown images of the detention, the military confirmed to Reuters that Marines did detain the civilian, one Marcos Leao, a 27-year-old of Angolan and Portuguese descent, who obtained U.S. citizenship through military service. The images show Marines detaining Leao, restraining him with zip ties, and handing him over to the Department of Homeland Security. The military's Northern Command spokesperson told Reuters that members of the military 'may temporarily detain an individual in specific circumstances.' 'Any temporary detention ends immediately when the individual(s) can be safely transferred to the custody of appropriate civilian law enforcement personnel,' the spokesperson added. Following his release, Leao explained that he was on his way to an office at the Department of Veterans Affairs when he crossed a boundary established by some yellow tape and was asked to stop. He also told reporters that he had been treated fairly, saying of the Marines, 'They're just doing their job.' The Marines took over guard duty outside the Wilshire Federal Building in Sawtelle on Friday afternoon. In addition to Veterans Affairs, the 17-story building houses offices for the FBI and a federal passport agency. The building is where California Senator Alex Padilla was wrestled to the ground and handcuffed during a DHS news conference on Thursday. Approximately 700 Marines were activated earlier this week to deploy to L.A. alongside more than 2,000 National Guardsmen by Trump and tasked with protecting federal property and personnel during ongoing anti-ICE protests in the city, including by accompanying ICE agents on raids. The soldiers deployed in L.A. are authorized to detain people they believe pose a threat to federal personnel or property, but only long enough for police to arrest them, as they are not able to perform arrests themselves. Under normal circumstances, the U.S. military is not permitted to take part in civilian law enforcement. As Reuters notes, the last time the military was used in this way was in response to the 1992 protests in Los Angeles following the acquittal of police officers who beat Rodney King. The presence of soldiers at federal buildings in Los Angeles comes ahead of a nationwide day of protests planned for Saturday, dubbed the 'No Kings' protests, and after days of protests against immigration raids across the city. Los Angeles is home to more than 4 million immigrants.

Marines in LA as ‘No Kings' protest looms
LOS ANGELES - Roughly 200 U.S. Marines moved into Los Angeles Friday to protect federal buildings amid continuing protests over ongoing immigration raids. What we know Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman, commander of Task Force 51, said the deployment of Marines in the LA area will free up National Guard troops, who have been primarily protecting federal property over the past week. With the help of the Marines, National Guard troops will now serve a more protective role for federal agents conducting enforcement operations in the field. "I would like to emphasize that the soldiers will not participate in law enforcement activities," Sherman told reporters during a morning briefing. "Rather, they'll be focused on protecting federal law enforcement personnel." Sherman said some National Guard troops have already been doing protective work for federal agents conducting immigration enforcement activities, but they have not engaged in any police-type work or made any arrests or detentions. RELATED:National Guard in LA: Why is Newsom suing the Trump administration? Marines began arriving around midday Friday at the federal building in West Los Angeles. By mid-afternoon, more than a dozen were stationed outside the 17-story Wilshire Federal Building, replacing some members of the National Guard at various entrances. They mostly appeared to be checking tickets from members of the public who were there to renew their passports. Sherman said the U.S. Marine Corps is responsible for guarding U.S. embassies overseas so they are well-trained on how to defend a federal building. Their arrival comes a day ahead of the planned 'No Kings' protests which are scheduled to take place in Los Angeles and across the nation. The No Kings Day of Defiance is expected to be the largest single-day mobilization since Trump returned to office, organizers said. The protest coincides with a planned military parade in Washington, D.C. that celebrates the Army's 250th birthday and President Trump's 79th birthday. "From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we're taking action to reject authoritarianism — and show the world what democracy really looks like," organizers said on the official No Kings website. SUGGESTED:' No Kings' anti-Trump protests planned in California: Here's when and where List: 'No Kings' anti-Trump protest locations in LA, Southern California The protests are in affiliation with the 50501 movement, a national movement made up of everyday Americans who stand for democracy and against what they call the authoritarian actions of the Trump administration. The name 50501 stands for 50 states, 50 protests, one movement. Ahead of Saturday's events, LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell, L.A. County Sheriff Robert Luna and CHP Deputy Commissioner Ezery Beauchamp held a joint news conference at LAPD headquarters on Friday to discuss law-enforcement preparations aimed at keeping the numerous demonstrations peaceful. Their message was clear: Law enforcement is fully prepared and will arrest anyone who commits a crime or incites violence. The Source Information for this story came from Maj. Gen.
