Protests against President Donald Trump took place across the country on Saturday, with several videos coming out of Philadelphia, New York City, Jersey City, Tacoma and parts of Minnesota.

Organizers said that more than 3,100 events have been registered in all 50 states, with more than 9 million people expected to participate.

The 'No Kings' movement is growing across states and beyond, with rallies being held in more than a dozen countries, spanning Europe, Latin America, and Australia.

Indivisible co-director Leah Greenberg said, 'This administration's actions are angering not just Democratic voters or folks in big blue city centers, they are crossing a line for people in red and rural areas, in the suburbs, all over the country.'

The main 'No Kings' rally is set at the Minnesota Capitol in St Paul, where organizers expected up to 100,000 attendees.

Protesters marched past the Lincoln Memorial toward the National Mall in Washington, carrying signs such as 'Put down the crown, clown' and 'Regime change begins at home', while chanting 'No kings'.

Donna Lieberman of the New York Civil Liberties Union sharply criticized the administration, saying, 'They want us all to be afraid to protest. They want us to be afraid that there's nothing we can do to stop them. But you know what? They are wrong, dead wrong.'

Protests extended overseas, with gatherings reported in cities like Paris, Rome, and London.

The administration dismissed the protests, with spokesperson Abigail Jackson calling them the result of 'leftist funding networks.'
