The largely peaceful protests during the "No Kings Day" demonstration in downtown Los Angeles took an intense turn in the afternoon. Police ordered the crowd to disperse at about 4:15 p.m. PDT near Alameda Street and Temple Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department's Central Division.

As a military parade rolls through Washington, DC, on Saturday – President Donald Trump’s birthday – millions of Americans are expected to protest in what organizers predict will be the strongest display of opposition to Trump’s administration since he took office in January.

Opponents of President Donald Trump’s administration are set to rally in Dallas, Fort Worth, Frisco, Arlington, other North Texas cities.

Will protests in Los Angeles set the stage for what could be more clashes Saturday as activists in hundreds of cities nationwide, including metro Detroit, organize?

Part of a "nationwide day of defiance," the protests coincide with a military parade in Washington, D.C., Flag Day and President Trump's birthday.
