Protesters across Michigan and the United States are rallying Saturday afternoon in a demonstration organizers are calling a "national day of defiance."The "No Kings" rallies are being described by organizers as "a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to the increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption of the Trump administration.

More than 70 No Kings demonstrations or events were planned throughout Michigan, including ones in Dearborn and Wyandotte. Others in Ferndale, Detroit and Ann Arbor drew the largest crowds while more unique ones took place over an Interstate 696 overpass in Roseville and a highway trail bridge in Romeo.

Protests under "No Kings" banner erupt in Michigan, with peaceful demonstrations and a brief scuffle in Detroit.

With at least 70 No Kings day demonstrations planned across Michigan on June 14 as a collective response to President Donald Trump's policies and the recent military response to ICE protest in Los Angeles, California, those taking part may have questions about their rights if confronted by police.

Thousands took to the streets for the "No Kings Day" protests against President Donald Trump. In Michigan, demonstrators in Detroit, Ann Arbor, Ferndale, Dearborn and several other towns protested.

Thousands filled downtown streets Saturday as part of coordinated demonstrations targeting what speakers called the president's authoritarian tendencies.

The protest at Detroit's Clark Park is expected to draw at least 2,000 people and will also feature speeches by Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist and Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib.

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.
