More than 2,500 protesters gathered at San Joaquin Delta College in Stockton for the "No Kings" protest, one of three scheduled in San Joaquin County.

The area protests drew many people, of varying ages with an array of concerns. But a common thread was concern over policies of the Trump administration, such as recent immigration crackdowns.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom picked at old wounds on social media and posted a doctored photo of Sean Spicer, President Trump’s first-term press secretary, and an image of sparse crowds on the National Mall for the parade.

At least five carwashes across Los Angeles County and Orange County have been raided since Sunday, according to one labor group.

The protest comes before leaders vote on whether or not to pass a budget that is expected to lock new undocumented immigrants out of Medi-Cal.

Democratic policies regarding immigration has evolved as attitudes have hardened after record border crossings during Joe Biden's administration.

Critics such as California Governor Gavin Newsom viewed Trump's decision to send in the National Guard as an abuse of power.

The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles, a non-profit working to advance human and civil rights of immigrants, is facing federal investigation and criticism from state lawmakers over its possible involvement in immigration protests. The group has denied accusations of wrongdoing.
