Mexico City and Guadalajara were among the Mexican cities where “No Kings” protests against the policies and actions of U.S. President Donald Trump and his administration took place on Saturday.

The Mexican “No Kings” protests — which also took place in a number of other cities including Mérida, Oaxaca, Puerto Vallarta, Mexicali and San Miguel de Allende — coincided with “No Kings” protests held across cities and towns in the United States.

They were held to “reject authoritarianism, billionaire-first politics and the militarization of the … [United States’] democracy,” the Associated Press reported, citing a statement by protest organizers.

The protests took place the same day that the U.S. Army’s 250th Anniversary Parade was held in Washington, D.C. They occurred after a week of intense protests against immigration raids in Los Angeles and an accusation from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem that President Claudia Sheinbaum had encouraged “violent” demonstrations in the city.

In Mexico City, hundreds of people, including both U.S. and Mexican citizens, marched from the Luis Cabrera plaza in the Roma neighborhood to the U.S. Embassy, located on the Paseo de la Reforma boulevard.

“Fuera racismo, fuera Trump” (Out with racism, out with Trump) was one of the “most-heard slogans” during the march, the newspaper Diario de México reported.

Among the placards held up by protesters were ones that read: “I like my ICE crushed” and “NO FAUX-KING WEY.”
