With protests planned this weekend, here’s a look at the Kansas City Police Department’s policy on responding to First Amendment protected activities.

There are 15 protests planned throughout Kansas on June 14 to counter a military parade President Donald Trump will attend.

Protests against the Trump administration are happening in Kansas City Saturday as part of nationwide ‘No Kings’ demonstrations.

The same day, celebrants in Washington, D.C., will have a military parade to mark the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday.

We looked into the "No Kings Day" movement because of its national interest that has prompted a response from government officials in Washington, D.C., to lawmakers in Missouri and Kansas.

Mayor Quinton Lucas called the action by Republican Mike Kehoe an "unnecessary escalation." He also criticized the state's lack of response when a white nationalist hate group marched through Kansas City last month.

A Kansas City group is organizing a "No Kings Rally" this weekend in response to Gov. Kehoe declaring a State of Emergency and activating the National Guard – and in response to President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown.

Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe announced Thursday that he has activated the National Guard in anticipation of these protests.
