Several hundred people gathered and marched in downtown Las Vegas on Wednesday night to protest against the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement tactics.
The protest was dubbed “No Kings,” and was part of worldwide demonstrations Saturday targeting the Trump Administration. No Kings is also a reference to fears by some that President Trump is making moves more akin to that of an unchecked monarch. During her brief address, Titus quipped that “Elvis is the only king we want in Las Vegas.”
According to police, 15 people were arrested in connection with the protests, far less than the 94 arrested during anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement protests Downtown days earlier.
Downtown Las Vegas services and businesses prepare for protests throughout the weekend, boarding up windows and doors, modifying hours or preparing to stay open.
