Law enforcement and volunteer teams coordinate safety measures ahead of weekend rallies critical of Trump administration.

Dozens of rallies across the state will take place on Saturday to oppose President Donald Trump. Here's what to know and when to go.

The footage MSNBC aired is real and depicted Boston’s Oct. 18 “No Kings” rally. The views of the protest that MSNBC aired were similar to others that aired Oct. 18 by four Boston-area television stations. Cruz’s office did not respond by publication time to an inquiry.

In all, more than 2,500 demonstrations took place nationwide in the largest mobilization of protests since President Trump returned to office.

The No Kings Day of Defiance has been organized to reject authoritarianism, billionaire-first politics, and the militarization of the country’s democracy, according to a statement by organizers.

The majority of those gathered were part of the No Kings rally with a smaller group of people there to show their support for the Trump administration.

No Kings protest events are taking place across the country Saturday and thousands are expected to show their support in several events in downtown Houston. Follow along here for updates.
