Thousands of anti-Trump protests are erupting across the United States this weekend under the banner of “No Kings” day.

"No Kings Day" is a nationwide day of peaceful protest organized to coincide with a military parade in Washington, D.C., marking the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. According to CBS News, the parade and related festivities are expected to cost between $25 million and $45 million.

The Houston demonstration is one of several planned in the region throughout the day and is expected to draw thousands of protesters.

The threat had roiled the capital city, leading the state's Department of Public Safety to evacuate the Capitol building and surrounding grounds “out of an abundance of caution" around 1 p.m. DPS reopened the grounds around 4:40 p.

The “day of defiance” protests begin as early as 10 a.m. in North Texas, while the Washington, D.C., military parade for the Army’s 250th birthday starts at 5:30 p.m. Central.

Texas officials have taken similar measures, as Gov. Greg Abbott confirmed this week that he will deploy the National Guard to cities throughout the state amid ongoing protests in San Antonio and Austin.

City leaders are addressing concerns after Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced the deployment of the National Guard to San Antonio ahead of the "No Kings Day" protest scheduled for this weekend. San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg said the city received no "advance warning" of the National Guard from Abbott.
