Hundreds of people gathered at Washington Square Park in downtown City on Thursday, protesting the Trump administrations's raids on undocumented immigrants. Then they marched to the federal building.

The protest in Philadelphia is part of a nationwide “No Kings” action planned by critics of President Donald Trump’s administration, and will coincide with the president’s 79th birthday and a controversial military parade taking place in Washington Saturday evening.

The power of the US military will be sharply on display this weekend – on two different coasts and in two very different ways.
