Around the country, “No Kings” protests kicked off as President Donald Trump celebrated his birthday and the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army with a military parade. Boston’s “No Kings” demonstration coincided with the city’s Pride parade and festival.

Saturday's Pride parade and festival in Boston came as protests were held across the nation against the Trump administration's policies.

"No Kings" protests are planned in several cities and towns in Massachusetts on Saturday June 14, according to organizers.

The “No Kings National Day of Mobilization” comes as protests against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Los Angeles have escalated after President Donald Trump deployed federal troops to the state.

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.
