No Kings protests against the Trump administration are planned across the country Saturday, including in and around Los Angeles.

It's the second day of action organized by a coalition including a group that calls itself 50501, which stands for 50 states, 50 protests, one movement. The first took place in June and brought thousands of people to the streets of downtown Los Angeles and in all 50 states.

Organizers say the second demonstration is to continue to push back against the President Donald Trump's policies, including the immigration raids that began ramping up in Southern California this summer.

"L.A. has been hit hard by this administration," said Martin Manteca, the organizing director of SEIU 721, which represents more than 100,000 workers in Southern California. "The administration has sent masked men in combat gear to kidnap children from schools, question and snatch neighbors off the streets and assault and take workers from Home Depots, car washes, stores and restaurants."
