Trump, protest and the parade

A military spectacle took place at the National Mall Saturday evening with troops marching and tanks rolling along Constitution Avenue. Parade organizers moved up the start as storms formed across the region.
These demonstrations come after a week of protests against ICE raids in communities with large immigrant populations. They also coincided with Trump’s military parade in Washington, DC.
Thousands of demonstrators crowded into streets, parks, and plazas across the US, blaring anti-authoritarian chants mixed with support for protecting democracy and immigrant rights.
Despite the sweltering heat, hundreds — likely thousands — of people came out to express their disapproval of the Trump administration. And while protesters were loud and passionate, it did remain peaceful.
Coinciding with Trump's 79th birthday, the parade will feature tanks, bands and thousands of troops in honor of the Army’s 250th anniversary celebration.
