Thousands of demonstrators took to the streets from Times Square to the National Mall on Saturday, waving flags and holding signs calling for accountability and democracy during nationwide “No Kings Day" protests.
The arrests, on the crowded sidewalks of Midtown Manhattan, rattled migrants residing at a hotel and shook the theater district, which is heavily trafficked by tourists.
Massive "No Kings" rallies were held from coast-to-coast Saturday, including in New York City. Organizers say the demonstrations are intended to defend First Amendment rights and the fight for democracy.
