Thousands of "No Kings Day" protests are set to be held throughout the country on Saturday to protest the Trump administration.

State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were shot and killed, and State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette were shot and wounded in “targeted shootings” in Brooklyn Park and Champlin, two neighboring suburban cities 10 to 20 miles outside Minneapolis.

The rallies were among hundreds of "No Kings" protests held throughout the United States, timed to coincide with a military parade celebrating the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army in Washington, D.C. Saturday was also Trump's 79th birthday.

The "No Kings" protests were scheduled in Connecticut as early as 9:30 a.m. in Canton and Glastonbury and could last elsewhere until 6 p.m.

Protesters across Michigan and the United States rallied Saturday afternoon in a demonstration organizers called a "national day of defiance."

Millions marched in cities and towns across the U.S. in "No Kings" protests to rally against the Trump administration.
