Protests also took place in other major cities of the country, including Washington, Chicago, Miami, and Los Angeles.
On Saturday morning, thousands of people gathered as a protest began in New York's Times Square. The streets and subway entrances were filled with protesters holding signs that read "Not monarchy, democracy" and "The Constitution is not optional."
Ahead of the protests, Trump supporters accused the protesters of being associated with the far-left Antifa movement and condemned the event, calling it a "hate rally against America."
Organizers of the action and the protesters themselves stated that the events proceeded peacefully.
Non-violence is a core principle of the "No Kings" protest movement, and an organization of the same name calls on all participants on its website to avoid any potential confrontations.
