Thousands are expected to turn out for "No Kings" rallies against President Donald Trump's actions. Here's how organizers and authorities are preparing.
During the “No Kings” march, armed Antifa swarmed a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) facility in Tukwila. They assaulted cops with frozen water bottles and journalists, including Brandi Kruse, with mace. Tukwila Police and an ICE Special Response Team were forced to use tear gas to disperse the violent mob.
Thousands of people nationwide have shown up at protests and rallies opposing ICE raids as unrest grows in response to the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.
At least two immigrants were detained by ICE following an unusual order to meet with authorities in Tukwila, sparking outrage among protesters.
A demonstration is taking place Saturday night on 2nd Avenue and Madison Street, as protesters are blocking all southbound and westbound lanes in the process.
Videos and photographs of Wednesday raids across the country show people clashing with, running from and being arrested by immigration agents.
Most of the evening was peaceful, with a few protesters turning to vandalism in a tight area -- actions that brought police to move in closer and ultimately work to disperse the crowd.
Two “ No Kings ” rallies are planned for Saturday, one at Cal Anderson Park and the other at UW. They are meant to run opposite to President Donald Trump’s military parade in Washington, D.C., according to Axios Seattle.
