In Portland, hundreds of demonstrators began assembling outside the Oregon Convention Center around 10 a.m. The crowd grew steadily, with many participants waving flags, banners and signs decrying the president and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Protesters gathered at Lincoln Park, voicing their opposition to President Donald Trump's administration's policies and decisions since his return to office this year. "We are concerned about the loss of democracy, in the Constitution, in the country," local Curtis Rich said.

Millions of people turned out for "No Kings" protests nationwide on Saturday that were largely peaceful though there were some arrests and police had to disperse unruly crowds, including in Georgia and Los Angeles.
