Thousands filled downtown streets Saturday as part of coordinated demonstrations targeting what speakers called the president's authoritarian tendencies.
A number of "No Kings" rallies are planned for Saturday, with an emphasis on a nonviolent response to President Trump's administration. Among the rallies planned are a number in the Detroit area and throughout Michigan.
No Kings has identified on its website more than 1,800 cities nationwide, including about 70 in Michigan, where demonstrators are set to gather to express disapproval.
It began with a moment of silence for a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband who were killed in what Gov. Tim Walz called a political assassination.
