LOS ANGELES - Los Angeles is bracing for a second week of protests as ICE raids continue to happen across Southern California. The new round of protests comes as the No Kings demonstrations were held across the United States on Saturday to protest the policies of the Trump administration.

South Jersey residents, such as Jessica Herrera of Cherry Hill, took to the streets of Philadelphia to sound off against the Trump administration.

The No Kings events come after days of protests following raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Los Angeles, and Trump’s subsequent deployment of thousands of National Guard and U.S. Marines troops to “temporarily protect” ICE and other federal personnel, along with federal property.

A peaceful “No Kings” protest of hundreds of people voiced their support for democracy and opposed President Donald Trump’s authoritarian actions in downtown Macon Saturday morning.

Following a week of protests across the country, nearly a dozen rallies are planned for the area this weekend, including one in downtown Raleigh.

The event — in which participants lined the bridge from Wysor Street to Riverside Avenue — was part of a nationwide "No Kings" protest.

An estimated 2,000-plus people gathered for Women's March Rockford's "No Kings" protest, a march and rally held June 14 at the City Market Pavilion. They carried signs. They clamored for change. And when ACLU Coordinator Kathleen Dingle called them to send a loud message to Washington D.C. that "Rockford will have no king," they roared.
