Protests over federal immigration enforcement raids are flaring up around the country, and officials in cities large and small are preparing for major demonstrations against President Donald Trump this weekend.

Loren Malone, co-founder of Indivisible Tri-Cities, the local organizer, estimates nearly 5,000 peaceful demonstrators from around the region showed up to the “No Kings Day” protest. Kennewick was one of 2,000 cities across the nation that held protests expected to draw millions this weekend.

Thousands gathered in Daley Plaza and in suburban events in protests timed to coincide with a military parade in Washington celebrating the Army's 250th anniversary and President Donald Trump's 79th birthday.

Protests against immigration enforcement have rippled across the country.

Protests over federal immigration enforcement raids and President Donald Trump’s move to mobilize the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles are spreading nationwide and are expected to continue into the weekend.
