Thousands are expected to take to the streets of Portland on Saturday as the second "No Kings" protests this year kick off across the country. Why it matters: The latest round of protests comes amid growing frustration about the government shutdown and widespread opposition to President Trump's military crackdown on Democratic-led cities across America,

The protests on Saturday were attended by 7 million people, with thousands of costumes being spotted in the crowds

Tens of thousands across Oregon and Washington — and nationwide — peacefully marched in the "No Kings" demonstrations; Portland police said no arrests were made.

Organizers say they expect even larger crowds than those that gathered in June to protest the Trump administration's actions. In Maine, rallies are planned for Portland, Lewiston-Auburn, Augusta and dozens of other communities.

Protestors in cities across the country gathered to express discontent with the Trump administration. Trump revoked the visas of six foreigners due to comments made against Charlie Kirk, and the CIA was confirmed to be conducting covert operations in Venezuela after recent maritime attacks against alleged drug smuggling boats from the country.

After multiple orders to disperse, police moved in and made arrests hours after thousands peacefully took to the streets for a "No Kings" protest.

With chants, costumes and colorful signs, Washingtonians raised their voices against Trump's hard-line policies on immigration, the federal budget and more.

Miami’s “No Kings” protest had an Uncle Sam, a tribute to Portland’s inflatable frog costumes and lots of homemade signs bashing the Trump administration for a host of issues.
