SAN DIEGO, Calif. (FOX 5/KUSI) — Several events in support of the “No Kings” movement are anticipated to take place in many parts of San Diego County on Saturday, which are set to include marches, rallies and interactive activities.

A main rally is scheduled for 10 a.m. to noon at Waterfront Park at 1600 Pacific Hwy. in San Diego. Similar marches were held in June and October of last year.

The “No Kings” protests are part of a nationwide movement against arrests by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers under the Trump administration, as well as other concerns, including the war with Iran, rising costs of living in the U.S. and others.

“We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events,” the event page on the Mobilize online platform reads.

Meanwhile, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office (SDSO) sent out a news release on Wednesday, saying it is aware of the planned protests this weekend and encourages the “peaceful gathering of people.”

“On behalf of Sheriff Kelly Martinez and the Sheriff’s Office, we thank everyone who plans to participate to peacefully express their First Amendment rights,” the sheriff’s office said in its statement.

It added, “A reminder: the Sheriff’s Office does not condone any acts of violence or intolerance in our communities. Our job is to enforce the law. As long as people express themselves in a peaceful and lawful manner, we do not have any lawful authority to intervene.”

Other “No Kings” protests are also expected to take place in the San Diego communities of La Jolla, Carmel Valley, Ocean Beach and Mira Mesa as well as various cities in the north, south and eastern parts of the county.
