Thousands of protesters were out in the streets of Michigan on Saturday afternoon as part of the "No Kings" movement opposing President Trump's policies. 

Saturday's rallies across the state and the country marked the second nationally organized event of its kind. The first round of countrywide "No Kings" protests on June 14, the same day as Mr. Trump's military parade celebrating the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary as well as his own 79th birthday. 

A group of protesters in downtown Detroit started their rally at Roosevelt Park on Saturday afternoon with speeches before they marched peacefully to the Patrick V. McNamara Federal Building.

Protester Nathon Armstrong said he came out to Detroit to show his disapproval for what's going on with the Trump administration.

David York, another protester in Detroit, said Saturday's demonstration wouldn't change a thing.

"They won't do anything until the Supreme Court changes or someone else changes," David York said. "Nothing will happen. It's just a way to make yourself feel better, to protest, but I can't see anything happening in Washington."

Aerial video taken from a helicopter flying over Ferndale, Michigan, showed hundreds of people at a demonstration in the area of Nine Mile Road and Woodward Avenue.

Organizers say they were expecting millions to attend the events on Saturday, and that there is at least one event planned in every state. 

"The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don't have kings and we won't back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty," the "No Kings" website said. 

Over 20 rallies took place across Southeast Michigan in June, including one in Ann Arbor that over 8,000 people attended.
