"Thousands are expected to take to the streets this weekend as the 'No Kings' protests make their way back to metro Atlanta for a third time.
These protests are in response to the Trump administration's immigration enforcement policies and the deadly January shootings that happened in Minneapolis, which left two people dead. Previous iterations of "No Kings" protest days have been held in the last year. Organizers of the rallies are saying they expect their largest demonstration to date on Saturday.
11Alive is tracking protest developments throughout Saturday morning and afternoon, with at least one large demonstration planned near Downtown Atlanta. 11Alive+, our streaming channel, will have coverage starting at 10:30 a.m.
Atlanta demonstration largely wrapped up
Following an earlier rally near the Georgia Capitol and march around the building, the protest in Atlanta trickled back to the Memorial Drive Greenway and has now by and large dispersed as of 1 p.m.
As for the rest of the day, organizers for "No Kings" demonstrations listed several more happening later into the afternoon in metro Atlanta. Those include one in McDonough running from 12:30 to 2 p.m.; one in Marietta from 1-3 p.m.; one in Sandy Springs from 2:30-4:30 p.m.; one in Smyrna from 3-5 p.m. and one in Fayetteville from 4-5:30 p.m.
11Alive's live coverage has discontinued as of 1 p.m. You can see clips both in the blog entries below and in the video player above this story, as well as on our YouTube page.
