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

Thousands of anti-Trump protests are erupting across the United States this weekend under the banner of “No Kings” day, a coordinated movement aimed at pushing back against what demonstrators see as authoritarian overreach since the president returned to office in January.

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.
