No Kings protests in Portland, Los Angeles and Dallas grew violent Saturday — and one near Mar-a-Lago in Florida took a lewd turn — as thousands filled streets around the US in angry demonstrations against the Trump Administration.
No Kings demonstrations in Portland, Oregon got out of hand in the evening with protesters sporting gas masks attacking police officers who were trying to control the crowd, according to video posted on X by FreedomNews.tv. There was no immediate word on arrests.
In Dallas, Police had to separate No Kings demonstrators from “Pro America” counter demonstrators as the two groups engaged in heated clashes. Video of the scene showed a protester being hauled away and arrested and other shouting “f–k you” at apparent pro-Trump demonstrators who were carrying flags and automatic weapons.
A large mob of demonstrators waving Palestinian and other flags hurled cement blocks towards Department of Homeland Security agents in Los Angeles.
The unruly crowd was gathered outside the Metropolitan Detention Center where a few dozen DHS agents were working.
They banged on the fence and charged and threw cement blocks at DHS agents, according to video posted by independent journalist Anthony Cabassa.
DHS agents deployed tear gas on the crowd and Los Angeles Police Department officers clad in riot gear were dispatched to the scene.
Protesters violently resisted arrests from LAPD cops, video showed.

The counterprotester began exiting the confrontation while bellowing, “This guy is fighting for illegal aliens,” in a megaphone after about 20 seconds of shouting.
