Hundreds rally in Atlanta's Liberty Plaza for 'No Kings' to protest Trump's policies. Chants of 'Immigrants are welcome here' echoed loudly.

Minutes after Atlanta’s “No Kings” protest began, organizers announced that the venue’s 5,000-person capacity had been reached.

Thousands of residents from across metro Atlanta mobilized on Saturday morning for the “No Kings” rallies against the actions of the Trump administration. A rally in DeKalb County at the corner of Northcrest and Chamblee Tucker roads ended in tear gas being deployed when protesters tried to block the road and were met by police in riot gear.

ATLANTA — Thousands of people are expected to participate in protests across north Georgia on Saturday. Organizers are planning nearly two dozen protests all across metro Atlanta and north Georgia as part of the nationwide “No Kings” demonstrations against President Donald Trump and his policies.

Hundreds are expected to protest across metro Atlanta Saturday as Trump celebrates his 79th birthday and the Army turns 250.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — 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.

As many as 2,000 protests are planned across the country. Organizers say they’re meant as a counteraction to Trump’s lavish parade, which also happens to fall on his birthday.

More than 5,000 people are expected to crowd into Liberty Plaza on Saturday morning as part of the demonstration.
