SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Chanting “This is what democracy looks like,” thousands of protesters were in downtown Sacramento on Saturday as part of a nationwide day of demonstrations. The “No Kings” protests, staged in cities across the country, were organized in response to Saturday's military parade in Washington, D.C.

Thousands showed up at multiple ‘No Kings’ rallies in Sacramento, Yolo, Placer and El Dorado counties to protest President Trump on the same day as a military parade in Washington D.C.

The Sacramento Police Department was found liable for violating the constitutional rights of George Floyd protesters, but the court declined to issue a permanent injunction to mandate reforms, leaving the plaintiffs and their supporters feeling that justice remains elusive.

A protest that started at Sacramento's Cesar Chavez Plaza later combined with one at the California State Capitol. They both had the same overall message: stop the ICE raids.

After a weekend of violent anti-deportation protests in San Francisco and Los Angeles, Sacramento's mayor is not concerned that violence will happen in his city.
