WILLIAMSBURG — A large crowd gathered Saturday along Monticello Avenue and at the Williamsburg-James City County Courthouse to participate in the nationwide “No Kings” rally protesting President Donald Trump and his administration’s policies.
The rally was one of many across the region, including one at the Yorktown Victory Monument, and across the nation. The largely peaceful events coincided with a military parade in Washington, D.C., officially marking the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army, but one critics contend was a celebration of President Donald J. Trump’s June 14 birthday.
The demonstrations followed a week of immigration protests which saw the president order the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles.
