Protesters across Michigan and the United States are rallying Saturday afternoon in a demonstration organizers are calling a "national day of defiance."The "No Kings" rallies are being described by organizers as "a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to the increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption of the Trump administration.

Saturday’s No Kings protests across the country coincided with a rare military parade in Washington, D.C. — conceptualized by Trump — to celebrate the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary. The celebration also lands on Trump’s 79th birthday, which critics argued echoes the authoritarian tradition of publicly displaying might.

With at least 70 No Kings day demonstrations planned across Michigan on June 14 as a collective response to President Donald Trump's policies and the recent military response to ICE protest in Los Angeles, California, those taking part may have questions about their rights if confronted by police.
