WASHINGTON (AP) — There were funnel cakes, stands of festival bling and American flags aplenty. There were mighty machines of war, brought out to dazzle and impress. And there was the spray of tear gas against demonstrators in Los Angeles and Atlanta, and rolling waves of anti-Trump resistance coast to coast.

WASHINGTON, June 12 (Reuters) - Americans are divided over President Donald Trump 's decision to activate the military to respond to protests against his crackdown on migrants, with about half supportive of the move, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll that closed on Thursday.

Opponents of President Donald Trump's administration on Saturday rallied in nearly 2,000 locations across the country, with thousands demonstrating in Northern California.

Will protests in Los Angeles set the stage for more clashes Saturday as activists in hundreds of cities nationwide, including metro Detroit, organize?

"No Kings" protests have been organized nationwide in response to a massive military parade in Washington, D.C.
