The "No Kings day of action" is scheduled to take place nationwide Saturday, June 14, with more than 70 planned in Florida.

Organizers of the "No Kings" demonstrations and local officials urged demonstrators to stay home from planned protests in Minnesota on Saturday after a lawmaker and her husband were fatally shot and another lawmaker and his wife were injured at their homes. Gov. Tim Walz called the incident a “politically motivated assassination.”

No Kings protests fanned out across South Florida and the country Saturday as thousands of people demonstrated against President Donald Trump's policies on his 79th birthday and the day of a military parade in Washington.

Turnout grew throughout the morning at rallies across Florida, where protesters expressed their opposition to what they see as President Donald Trump’s excessive accumulation of executive power.

The "No Kings" day protests were planned before riots erupted in Los Angeles over immigration enforcement raids. Trump called in the California National Guard and a few days later ordered Marines to the city. California Gov. Gavin Newsom filed a lawsuit over the president’s move to deploy members of the Guard without Newsom’s authorization.

The anti-Trump group “No Kings“ planned the protests to coincide with Saturday’s military parade in Washington, D.C. The group, on its website, states that “No Kings is a nationwide day of defiance” to “reject authoritarianism — and show the world what democracy really looks like.”
