In the Greater Boston area, thousands of “No Kings” marches and rallies are taking place, part of major demonstrations planned across the country.

The “No Kings National Day of Mobilization” comes as protests against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Los Angeles have escalated after President Donald Trump deployed federal troops to the state.

The “No Kings” rallies were organized in nearly 2,000 locations nationwide, including cities, towns, and community spaces.

The rallies were part of a wave of demonstrations opposing the Trump administration and took place just hours before a planned military parade in Washington.

Some of the teams that are expected to be very active in the offseason are last year's champions, the Celtics, and potentially the Kings are they look to rebuild their roster from a frustrating finish this year that saw them move on from star De'Aaron Fox.

Despite peaceful demonstrations reported in multiple cities, violence flared at some anti-Trump protests over the weekend.

Saturday's Pride parade and festival in Boston came as protests were held across the nation against the Trump administration's policies.
