As of early Sunday, the department had confirmed that nine juveniles were arrested and cited for failure to disperse. All were later released to their parents. Police said an unlawful assembly was declared after protesters threw rocks, bottles and pieces of concrete at federal officers. LAPD reported that rocks were also thrown at its officers, leaving several with minor injuries while taking people into custody. By about 9 p.m., activity in the area had largely calmed and the department's Tactical Alert was lifted. Earlier in the day, the "No Kings" protest drew tens of thousands who listened to speakers before marching peacefully through downtown streets. National organizers called Saturday "the largest single-day nonviolent protest in modern American history," saying at least 8 million people participated at more than 3,300 events across all 50 states and on nearly every continent. Protests were scheduled in cities across Southern California, but the largest was at Gloria Molina Grand Park, across from City Hall, in downtown Los Angeles.

"I spent four years in the Army turning around trying to fight what's happening in our country right now," said Don Napoli. "You've got somebody that is in total power that is overwriting our constitution." Patrick Feliciano, another attendee, said, "I feel like our administration is currently taking us down a path of fascism and I feel like it's destroying our democracy." LAPD said Sunday morning that it is still compiling information on the number of arrests made during the protest and expects to release updated figures once available.At a march and rally around noon in Pasadena, one demonstrator said the news coming out of Washington gives her an uneasy feeling each morning. "Every morning I wake up, and I feel like I have a low-grade fever. It's hard to stomach what's going on in Washington and around the world," said Kristie Baker from La Canada Flintridge. "I think we're all just longing to have our voice heard. You feel like there's not much you can do, but this is something in community we can do together, and hopefully our voice will be heard."In Orange County, a crowd gathered in Huntington Beach, which is typically a conservative stronghold in our region. Demonstrators lined the streets around the pier, holding signs supporting immigrants and protesting the president.In the Inland Empire, a "No Kings" rally took on a festive atmosphere in Riverside. Protesters took over the corner of Market Street and University Avenue, waving signs, singing and chanting. They denounced everything from the Trump administration's immigration enforcement tactics to the war with Iran.Protesters who spoke to Eyewitness News said they refuse to be silent, urging anyone who disagrees with the administration to speak up. They say the cost of living has skyrocketed over the past year, and they don't want their tax dollars paying for the war with Iran. In Altadena, people gathered in front of the old Altadena Community Church that burned down in the Eaton Fire.The small community demonstration drew dozens of people. "It's a no-win war. It's like Vietnam all over again," said Joan Aebi. "He's driving the country in a direction that the people don't want."Demonstrators brought creative costumes and signs to the "No Kings" protest in Ventura.In Long Beach, protesters met at Bluff Park. They lined up along both sides of Ocean Boulevard, holding signs, chanting and calling for change. Meanwhile, in Baldwin Hills, a woman isn't letting her health issues stop her from exercising her First Amendment rights. Judy Bershak, 79, is battling cancer and has limited mobility, but said she feels strongly about the message behind the "No Kings" protests. So, she set up shop outside her apartment complex at the corner of Obama and Hauser with a handmade sign. "As you can see, this is my walker. I can't go downtown and march because I just can't make it that far," Bershak said. "If I can't go down there with people, I'll do it by myself." Bershak says the last time she took part in a large group demonstration was the Women's March back in 2017, and it was like a "religious experience" for her.
