On the same day Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered in a "politically-motivated" assassination, more "politically-motivated" violence occurred at peaceful protests across the country.

With thousands of Americans showing up in 1,500 cities for “No Kings” protests, I wanted to know what motivated people.

Tens of thousands of Americans joined "No Kings" protests across the United States against the Trump administration.

The Houston demonstration is one of several planned in the region throughout the day and is expected to draw thousands of protesters.

The demonstrations come on the heels of protests flaring up around the country over federal immigration enforcement raids that began last week and Trump ordering National Guard troops and Marines to Los Angeles where protesters blocked a freeway and set cars on fire.

Coordinated "No Kings" protests are underway from coast-to-coast, part of a "national day of peaceful protest" against the Trump administration that is expected to draw millions. Protesters in some areas braved wet weather to raise signs and chant slogans supporting the rights of immigrants and criticizing what they see as Trump's power grab.
