Large crowds gathered Saturday for “No Kings” protests across the country, including several in West Michigan.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said Friday that President Donald Trump and his supporters were attempting to stir up anxiety, fear and violence ahead of the planned weekend No Kings protests, all under the guise of provoking a federal law enforcement response.

Michigan has roughly 75 “No Kings 2.0” protests planned for Saturday, Oct. 18, stretching from Beaver Island to Detroit, with several in West Michigan counties, including: Kalamazoo, Calhoun, Van Buren, St. Joseph, Allegan, Barry, Cass, Ottawa, and Kent.

Organized events are scheduled in cities across Michigan's Upper and Lower Peninsulas, including at the State Capitol in Lansing and at other landmark locations. There are around 100 planned protests in the state, as of Wednesday, Oct. 15. These protests are scheduled in the Upper Peninsula:

Over a dozen protests are planned across the region on Saturday as part of a nationwide initiative against President Donald Trump and his administration.

Protesters filled the lawn of the Michigan State Capitol in Lansing on Saturday for a “No Kings” rally that was part of a coordinated day of demonstrations across Michigan and the country.

The second "No Kings" protest of the year brought people back to the Michigan's State Capitol to demonstrate against president Donald Trump.

Demonstrations are expected to bring thousands of Michigan residents to the streets, for the second time this year. Can you wear a mask?
