A protest will take place at the West steps of the California Capitol as part of the "No Kings" movement, which is taking place throughout the state and the U.S.
Nationwide non-partisan No Kings protests on Flag Day follow chaotic demonstrations in Los Angeles over the immigration enforcement actions. Protester numbers grew and tempers heated, with some clashing with law enforcement, after Trump mobilized the California National Guard and the U.S. Marines.
