More than 1,500 events are planned throughout the U.S. to send a loud message to President Donald Trump: “In America, we don’t do kings.”
From immigration raids to Flag Day defiance, a week of protest is unfolding across the state. Our tracker shows where.
Hundreds of "No Kings Day" protests are underway across the U.S. - including in California - on Saturday, June 14 to protest the Trump administration's immigration policies.
The demonstrations are part of a massive, nationwide “No Kings Day of Defiance” protest against the president and his policies.
The protest comes before leaders vote on whether or not to pass a budget that is expected to lock new undocumented immigrants out of Medi-Cal.
Snopes has fact-checked many claims that have spread related to the protests, such as whether videos show a man committing several acts of violence, whether the California Democratic Party bought pallets of bricks for LA protesters ( originated as satire ), and whether a Craigslist ad proved the protests were orchestrated.
Given the sharp divides in public opinion over the protests, and the deportations that sparked them, Big Tech is steering clear of a combustible situation. “Anything that increases the tension around immigration will just make it harder for tech,” said Nu Wexler, a consultant who formerly worked in policy communications for Facebook and Google.
