President Trump said anyone who protests the Washington D.C. parade commemorating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army would be met with “very big force.”
“We’re going to be celebrating big on Saturday,” Trump said.
“If there’s any protester that wants to come out, they will be met with very big force,” he added.

Per Axios:
Dozens of groups are partnering to organize “No Kings” events in response to Trump’s celebration.
But there is no organized protest for Washington, D.C., Axios’ April Rubin reported, as organizers aim to create “contrast” rather than conflict.
ADVERTISEMENTDays of protests in Los Angeles over federal immigration enforcement raids have sparked demonstrations in cities around the country.
The LA protests have deepened the feud between Trump and California Gov. Gavin Newsom, after the president federalized the state’s National Guard amid the unrest without a request from the governor.
On Tuesday, Trump said other cities across the country can expect large-scale ICE operations.

More info on June 14th in our prior report.
From The Hill:
Trump will deliver remarks on Saturday evening. The event also falls on his 79th birthday.
Advocacy groups have organized “No Kings” events that are pushing back on what they say is creeping authoritarianism. Organizers have said there is not a “No Kings” event planned in Washington, D.C., however, though other counter-demonstrations are planned.
Trump’s comments warning protesters come as his administration has mobilized the National Guard and other troops in Los Angeles to crack down on protests taking place in the city against immigration raids.
State and local officials have pushed back on the use of the National Guard, decrying it as an escalation.
