Millions of protesters gathered from New York to Texas to California on Saturday to protest President Trump's deportation policies.
Why it matters: Disagreements over U.S. immigration policies have become a flashpoint in the country's politics.
Driving the news: More than 5 million people took part in "No Kings" demonstrations in over 2,100 cities and towns.
Dozens of protesters dressed as handmaids from the show "The Handmaid's Tale" for a downtown Fort Worth march.
An estimated 10,000 people attended the downtown Dallas protest, which Dallas police said was peaceful and safe.
Thousands more rallied in Denton and Collin counties.
What they're saying: "Courage is contagious. We sit at home and we complain and we don't do anything, so we felt like it was time to shut up or do something," Mesquite resident Liz Parke told the DMN.
Zoom out: The Texas Capitol was briefly evacuated Saturday after the Texas Department of Public Safety arrested a person in connection with threats against state lawmakers whom officials said planned to attend Austin's "No Kings" protest.
