AUSTIN (KXAN) — Protesters gathered in locations across Central Texas to participate in the “No Kings” day of action.

The events were fueled by recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids targeting undocumented immigrants.

Events were scheduled to take place in Austin, Pflugerville, Lockhart, Bastrop, Taylor, Dripping Springs, Fredericksburg and San Antonio. Across the state, there were at least 63 locations listed online where anti-Trump demonstrations were planned.
