The “No Kings” protest in New York City on Saturday is drawing demonstrators from across the Tri-State Area, and causing street closures and traffic delays in Midtown Manhattan. A group started gathering at Columbus Circle and Central Park South before the march at 2 p.m., when they started walking down Seventh Avenue and Broadway, through Times Square and to 34th Street. The NYPD said Seventh Avenue from 59th Street to 34th is closed to vehicle traffic due to the demonstration. Additionally, 34th Street between Eighth Avenue and Sixth is closed. The DOT did not announce any weekend road closures prior to the “No Kings” march.

Rallies across the country are being held Saturday in cities across the country, including Philadelphia, Chicago, Los Angeles, and St. Paul, Minnesota. Organizers said they’re planning to protest against the Trump administration’s use of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, amid Congress’s battle over funding for the Department of Homeland Security.
CBS News New York reached out to the White House for a statement on Saturday’s demonstrations in New York and across the country. “The only people who care about these Trump Derangement Therapy Sessions are the reporters who are paid to cover them,” a White House spokesperson said.
Prior “No Kings” marches in NYC Saturday’s event will mark the third “No Kings” march in New York City after rallies in June and October last year each drew tens of thousands of participants. Protesters at the most recent march held signs and flags reading “America was built by immigrants,” and “We don’t bow to billionaires.”
The NYPD said over 100,000 people marched peacefully across the five boroughs and reported zero arrests at the October march.
