Despite triple digit heat, thousands gathered in Downtown Las Vegas for the nationwide “No Kings” rally against the Trump administration and presidential overreach on Saturday.

Crowds gathered in Downtown Las Vegas Saturday evening as part of demonstrations nationwide for the "No Kings" protests against the Trump administration.

The “No Kings” protests taking place across the country on Saturday will be peaceful protests against an increasingly authoritarian Trump regime. These protests, now taking place in more than 2,000 sites across the U.S., have been planned for months and are NOT “anti-ICE” protests.

The “No Kings” protests were scheduled Saturday in hundreds of cities across the United States, including at 5 p.m. at the federal building in downtown Las Vegas, where hundreds a demonstration on Wednesday led to nearly 100 arrests, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.

The procession, with more than 6,000 soldiers and 128 Army tanks, was one Trump tried to make happen in his first term.

Las Vegas Mayor Shelley Berkley took to social media Saturday to address the planned “No Kings” protest. Mayor Berkley posted on the social media platform X, “An important message for today,” just after 10:30 a.

With large scale protests planned in Southern Nevada, the ACLU is reminding people that the right to demonstrate comes with responsibilities.

Salt Lake City police say a demonstrator who was shot at the city's “No Kings” protest has died and that the bullet that killed him appears to have been fired by one of the demonstration's peacekeeper
