A week of demonstrations continues into the weekend in Los Angeles with events planned around the nationwide ‘No Kings’ protests. ‘No Kings’ events and other gatherings are expected in downtown Los Angeles,

LAPD said law enforcement arrested 38 people following the "No Kings" protests in downtown Saturday afternoon.

In Los Angeles, 38 people were arrested downtown on Saturday night, police said Sunday. In Huntington Beach, police arrested a convicted felon they said had a loaded handgun.

The organized opposition was timed for the day President Trump is hosting a rare U.S. military parade in Washington that's taking place on his 79th birthday.

Los Angeles police have issued a dispersal order at No Kings protests downtown. Officers shot tear gas and rubber bullets at what they called "outside agitators."

The LAPD said on social media that the people in the crowd were throwing "rocks, bricks, bottles and other objects" while they were near the federal building.

As the military presence ramped up in Los Angeles, communities are preparing for the largest protests against Trump since he took office.

Police in Los Angeles, where protests over federal immigration enforcement raids erupted a week earlier and sparked demonstrations across the country, used tear gas and crowd-control munitions to clear out protesters on Saturday.

Thousands gathered in Los Angeles with handmade signs, Colonial costumes and riffs on drag queens, turning the anti-Trump demonstration into a creative spectacle of resistance.

The American Civil Liberties Union said over 5 million people participated in protests against the Trump administration on June 14.
