Demonstrators unfurled banners that read, “No Crown for a Clown” and “Trumpster Fire,” as they screamed, “Hey, hey! Ho, ho! Donald Trump has got to go!”

In New York City, the biggest "No Kings" demonstration began at Bryant Park on Saturday before moving down Fifth Avenue to Madison Square Park.

They moved as if in a brigade-sized military exercise, taking the high ground of the garage -- flooding the lower floors with officers then and pouring in from alleys and side streets. It was a pincer movement that sent some of the protesters scattering. They fired lots of less lethal rounds and flash bangs thundered. Everyone moved back.

Immigration protests across the country and the Trump administration's response to the Los Angeles immigration protests has become a major focus of the New York City mayoral campaign.

The group rallied near a building that houses an immigration court, which has become a flashpoint amid the arrests of migrants in courthouses.

Protests over federal immigration enforcement raids and President Donald Trump’s move to mobilize the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles are spreading nationwide and are expected to continue into the weekend.

President Donald Trump has ordered federal immigration officials to prioritize deportations in Democratic-led cities following widespread protests against his immigration policies.

Voices at the demonstrations are often a mix that includes calls for more explicit support for racial justice, Palestinian freedom and socialist politics.
