Trump's controversial policies are dividing the US. Nationwide protests are planned for "A Day Without Kings." The National Guard is already being deployed.
Protests against Donald Trump are gathering momentum. On Saturday (June 14), when the US president celebrates his 79th birthday and, in true dictatorial style, holds a military parade in Washington, the wave of protests is expected to reach its peak.
Ezra Levin told MSNBC that demonstrations are planned across the country on "Kings Without a Day." The protests are receiving "tremendous interest," said the co-founder of the progressive movement Indivisible, which is co-organizing the demonstrations. More than 1,500 protests have been announced, but a specific number of participants has not yet been announced.
"In America, we don't care about kings," the website for the anti-Trump protests says.
"They have defied our courts, deported Americans, wiped people off the streets, attacked our civil liberties and cut off our services. The corruption has gone too far," the statement continued, before repeating the phrase "no thrones, no crowns, no kings."
According to an interactive map "No Kings," protests against Donald Trump and his policies are taking place in all 50 U.S. states. Demonstrations are even planned in the island state of Hawaii and isolated Alaska.
In Los Angeles, people have been demonstrating for days against Donald Trump's tough immigration policies and strict measures against deportation. As a result, the US government has mobilized 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines from the regular armed forces to deploy to Los Angeles - against the wishes of California Governor Gavin Newsom.
The troops are arriving gradually and, at Trump's request, will remain in the city until the threat passes. Currently, a deployment is planned for a maximum of 60 days.
Protests against Donald Trump and his immigration policies also took place in other cities, including New York and Chicago. The US president described the protests as a "complete assault on peace, public order and our national sovereignty".
In a speech at Fort Bragg military base in North Carolina, he promised to send additional troops and resources to restore law and order if necessary. He called the demonstrators in Los Angeles "animals."
Police are responding with extreme force to protests in Los Angeles.
