Watch live: "No Kings" anti-Trump protests underway in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties
On Saturday, a large military parade celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States Army is set to take place in Washington, D.C. The parade coincides with Flag Day and Mr. Trump's 79th birthday.
Organizers of the national "No Kings" movement said they are taking to the streets on Saturday in response to Mr. Trump's "made-for-TV display of dominance."
"No Kings is a nationwide day of defiance," according to the organizer's website.
The protests follow a series of nationwide rallies organized in April by Hands Off! and the 50501 movement, where opponents of the president and his allies decried what they saw as threats to the country's democratic ideals.
"We've watched as they've cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens, and defied the courts," Hope and Action, a grassroots political activism group, said in a statement. "They've done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies."
In anticipation of the protests, which are expected to draw hundreds to the streets of Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, Florida officials made their positions clear, promising zero tolerance for violence during demonstrations focused largely on immigration and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids.
Here's a look at where "No Kings" protests will be happening in South Florida.
Broward County
Originally in Broward County, separate events were planned for Hollywood and Fort Lauderdale. Those events have since been combined into one that will be held in Fort Lauderdale at State Road A1A and Sunrise Boulevard. The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Hope and Action, an Indivisible group in Broward, is the event organizer. The group said the growing unrest in Los Angeles related to immigration enforcement is prompting greater participation.
Jennifer Jones, with Hope and Action, said that the group is working with Fort Lauderdale Police to keep everything calm, and volunteers have been trained to be safety marshals. She told CBS News Miami that they have been taught to spot trouble and de-escalate tensions.
Fort Lauderdale Police also said they will be monitoring the event to ensure safety and that participants should report suspicious activity.
Miami-Dade County
In addition to the Fort Lauderdale event, there will be "No Kings" protests in Miami and Miami Beach.
The Miami event will be held at the Torch of Friendship in Downtown Miami from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Meanwhile, the Miami Beach event will be held at Pride Park from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
At this time, the Miami-Dade County events are separate demonstrations.

Documentary Leaders Urge Senate Not Axe Funding For Public Television And Radio
Some of the most respected figures in documentary film are calling on Congress to protect funding for public television and radio. 'It's critically important,' Gordon Quinn, a founding member of Kartemquin Films, said during a recent panel discussion at DC/DOX, the prestigious film festival in the nation's capital – where senators will determine the fate of funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), which supports the work of PBS and NPR. More from Deadline 'Grantchester' To Conclude After Season 11 On PBS Masterpiece & ITV "The Declaration of Independence Applied To The Communications World": Ken Burns Defends PBS, Tells CBS News That Defunding Public Media Is "Foolhardy" Bill Moyers Dies: Influential Public Media Journalist And Commentator And Former White House Press Secretary Was 91 Last month by a 214-212 vote, the House approved a 'rescissions package' to claw back $9 billion in funding previously approved by Congress, including $1.1 billion for CPB, as demanded by Pres. Trump. Now the measure is moving to the upper chamber, where it could be voted on as soon as next week. 'It's up to the Senate,' noted Prof. Patricia Aufderheide of American University, a prominent media scholar and author of a widely read book on documentary film. 'There are only 45 Dems [plus two Independents]. We have to find… Republicans who want to not rescind public broadcasting's money. It has been advance-funded for two years as protection against exactly this kind of politicization. And now they want to claw it back.' If the Senate does not act by July 18, the rescission effort will fail and the CPB funding will remain intact. As my colleague Ted Johnson reported on July 4, documentary great Ken Burns is speaking out on the issue, saying it would be 'foolhardy' for Congress to strip federal funding from public media. Burns told CBS News, 'I couldn't do any of the films I've done without them being on PBS.' The Republican-led push to claw back PBS and NPR funding follows an executive order issued by Pres. Trump on May 1 that called NPR and PBS biased, ordaining 'The CPB Board shall cease direct funding' those outlets. 'The CPB Board shall cancel existing direct funding to the maximum extent allowed by law and shall decline to provide future funding.' PBS and NPR have filed separate federal lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of the president's order. But if the Senate passes the rescission, that might nullify their legal action. About 16 percent of PBS's $373.4 million annual budget comes directly from grants from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, according to the New York Times. But CPB also provides important funding support to public radio and television stations across the country – which buy PBS and NPR content. 'If stations have their core funding cut out from under them,' Aufderheide commented, 'which is what will happen with rescission instantly, NPR and PBS have no customers.' 'It's the small rural stations that will be most affected,' Quinn commented. 'We're not going to lose our station in Chicago.' 'But Peoria will be very affected,' Aufderheide said, referring to a much smaller Illinois market. 'And Carbondale will be very affected.' Burns, in his interview with CBS News, addressed the impact of potential rescission on PBS outlets. 'It's the largest network in the country. There's 330 stations. It mostly serves – and this is where the elimination of funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is so shortsighted – it mainly serves rural areas in which the PBS signal may be the only signal they get,' Burns said. 'They also have not only our good children's and prime time stuff, they have classroom on-the-air continuing education, homeland security, crop reports, weather emergency information. That we're going to take away?' Historically, PBS has been the most important platform for documentaries in the U.S., airing countless nonfiction films of every genre across its series including POV, Independent Lens, Frontline, American Masters, American Experience, NOVA and more. PBS has aired the full Burns canon, from The Civil War to Muhammad Ali and Hemingway. Many Kartemquin Films productions have likewise been released on PBS, among them Hoop Dreams, the Steve James film that is considered one of the greatest documentaries of all time. Said Quinn, 'It's been a longtime partner of ours in many, many ways.' PBS is home to diverse content not by coincidence but through legislative mandate: in 1988 Congress created ITVS specifically 'to expand the diversity and innovativeness of programming available to public broadcasting.' 'Some of that [CPB] money flows to independent producers,' Quinn said, 'and people who sort of represent the diversity of stories that should be a part of our democratic process.' Quinn played an important part in arguing for the creation of ITVS and has testified on Capitol Hill in favor of continued funding of PBS. 'The most important thing about PBS is that 'public' in the name,' he said. 'When you deal with PBS, that little sliver of public money — and it is a sliver that Congress is just trying to claw back and take away from PBS — means they have to be accountable to a public. They have to be accountable to the country at large and all of the different parts that make up America… Public money makes them accountable in a way that is different from the marketplace.'

Who's joining Horhn's A-team? Jackson mayor-elect expands transition roster, sets early agenda
Just weeks away from his July 1 swearing-in, Mayor-elect John Horhn is continuing to build out the leadership team that will help usher Jackson into a new era, announcing Wednesday a slate of additions to his "mayoral transition team." The latest appointments signal a continued emphasis on community engagement and institutional experience — a mix Horhn says is necessary to tackle Jackson's urgent challenges and restore public trust in city government. Two new co-chairs and eight at-large members have joined the team, which was initially unveiled June 6. The expanded leadership group will play a central role in shaping personnel decisions, evaluating city operations and drafting the incoming administration's policy roadmap. The two co-chairs include Beverly Hogan, a retired president of Tougaloo College, and Carol Palmer, an entrepreneur and longtime arts advocate. For the eight at-large members, Horhn has tapped a mix of state lawmakers, local business leaders and community activists. The members include: Zakiya Summers, Democratic state representative for District 68. Sollie Norwood, Democratic state senator for District 28. Johnnie Patton, former National Democratic Committeewoman. Surinder Singh, entrepreneur. Patricia Reese, entrepreneur. Gabriel Prado, entrepreneur. Warren Herring, healthcare executive and current chairman of the Jackson Municipal Airport Authority. Brenda Scott, labor advocate. "I am honored to have such accomplished leaders join our transition team," Horhn said in a press release. "Carol Palmer and Dr. Beverly Hogan bring invaluable experience and community credibility to our efforts. Our At-Large members represent diverse perspectives from business, healthcare, labor, and government that will ensure we build a comprehensive foundation for Jackson's future." The additional members will work in coordination with previously announced members of Horhn's transition leadership team, including former Jackson mayor Kane Ditto, attorney Robert Gibbs, Bishop Ronnie Crudup Sr, interim chief of staff Willie Bozeman and interim media spokesman Von Anderson. Horhn's team outlined their top priorities for his administration's first 30 days. Those priorities include identifying personnel changes, assessing departmental budgets, engaging with city department heads, evaluating current infrastructure and public safety and hosting community input sessions. The transition team will also: Review how the city is currently operating and handling its finances Meet with department leaders and key staff Set policy goals and plan the city's next budget Build relationships with partners at the state, federal and regional levels Make sure essential city services continue without interruption "This transition is about more than changing administrations – it's about transforming how city government works for every resident of Jackson," Horhn said. "Our expanded team reflects the collaborative approach we will bring to city leadership." Horhn inherits a city with deep, well-documented struggles — a crumbling water system under federal oversight, strained relations between City Hall and the state and widespread frustration over issues like crime, potholes and blight. The previous administration, led by Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba, faced persistent political infighting and public criticism at the end of his second term, culminating in Horhn's defeat of Lumumba in the April 22 Democratic runoff. That said, Horhn's transition team also aims to address: Water and sewer infrastructure modernization. Street repair, replacement and maintenance. Public safety and crime reduction. Economic development and job creation. Fiscal management and budget stabilization County, state and federal partnership. The transition period — typically 30 to 60 days — allows a mayor-elect and their team to evaluate city departments, finalize appointments and begin shaping policy. Horhn's team said the work done during the transition will directly inform his administration's "action plan and longer-term strategic initiatives." "Jackson's best days are ahead of us," Horhn said. 'This transition team represents the depth of talent and commitment that will drive our city forward.'
