The largely peaceful protests during the "No Kings Day" demonstration in downtown Los Angeles took an intense turn in the afternoon. Police ordered the crowd to disperse at about 4:15 p.m. PDT near Alameda Street and Temple Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department's Central Division.

The LAPD said there were 35 arrests for allegedly violating the curfew order overnight. In all, the department said there have been 561 arrests related to protest activity since last Saturday.

Law enforcement in Los Angeles have attempted to disperse protesters by using tear gas on Saturday afternoon, aerial footage shows.

Thousands took to the streets for the ‘No Kings’ protest across the U.S. Here’s what we know about the turnout and the movement’s message.

The"No Kings" protests are planned to oppose what they see as Trump's power grab. The number of planned events is nearly double that of the April 5 "Hands Off" protest that saw millions of Americans turn out in big and small cities nationwide.
