Protests took place in more than 1,500 cities on the same day that the president's birthday military parade, costing tens of millions of dollars, took place.

Around 2,000 protests and rallies were planned nationwide, with thousands of people also attending staged “No Kings” events in Manitowoc, Sheboygan and Green Bay. Rallies were canceled in Minnesota out of caution following shootings targeting local lawmakers.

In the interest of ensuring the safety of our attendees, including families with children, this joyful and peaceful march to protect every human life has been rescheduled,” the group said.

But the Los Angeles Police Department did not request Trump’s aid. On Tuesday, Los Angeles Police Department Chief Jim McDonnell denied that he had asked the White House for help in handling the protests, telling CNN that the department was “nowhere near” calling on assistance from the National Guard.

The demonstrations come on the heels of protests flaring up around the country over federal immigration enforcement raids that began last week and Trump ordering National Guard troops and Marines to Los Angeles where protesters blocked a freeway and set cars on fire.

Protesters criticized the administration's actions, including its crackdown on immigration, and condemned the fatal shooting of a Democratic Minnesota lawmaker earlier Saturday.

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