Anti-Trump groups planned nearly 2,000 demonstrations of varying sizes which are taking place under the theme of 'No Kings' Confrontations were isolated. But police in Los Angeles, where protests over federal immigration enforcement raids erupted a week earlier and sparked demonstrations across the country, used tear gas and crowd-control munitions to clear out protesters after the formal event ended. Officers in Portland also fired tear gas and projectiles to disperse a crowd that protested in front of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building well into the evening. And in Salt Lake City, Utah, police were investigating a shooting during a march downtown that left one person critically injured. Three people were taken into custody, including a man believed to be the shooter, who also suffered a gunshot wound, according to Police Chief Brian Redd. ‘No Kings': Protesters rallied nationwide Saturday against US President Donald Trump, ahead of a rare military parade on his 79th birthday.
