On the same day Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered in a "politically-motivated" assassination, more "politically-motivated" violence occurred at peaceful protests across the country.

The largely peaceful protests during the "No Kings Day" demonstration in downtown Los Angeles took an intense turn in the afternoon. Police ordered the crowd to disperse at about 4:15 p.m. PDT near Alameda Street and Temple Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department's Central Division.

In Los Angeles, 38 people were arrested downtown on Saturday night, police said Sunday. In Huntington Beach, police arrested a convicted felon they said had a loaded handgun.

As left-wing protesters took to the streets Saturday for the "No Kings" protests, some of the events were overshadowed by threats of violence. The "No Kings" demonstrations were launched to criticize President Donald Trump and his administration on the same day as his birthday and a parade in Washington,

"I'm white, a citizen, nondisabled, educated, and have easy access to transportation. I knew other people weren't going to be able to attend safely, and I wanted to be there for them."

Thousands marched and rallied peacefully during the No Kings OKC protest on June 14, the same day as the U.S. Army 250th Anniversary military parade.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass announced that the nightly curfew will be extended for a few more days amid ongoing protests against immigration raids.
