Across the country, demonstrators expressed their anguish against President Donald Trump and his administration by taking part in the “No Kings” protests.

A “No Kings” event on Maui drew a crowd of demonstrators along Kaʻahumanu Avenue in Kahului, stretching from the Wākea Avenue intersection, past South Kāne Street on Saturday afternoon. The event was part of a nationwide “No Kings” protest organized by several grassroots groups to denounce President Donald Trump and to protect democracy.
