LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- More than 2,000 "No Kings Day" protests were held across the U.S. on Saturday to protest the Trump administration and to counterprogram the military parade in Washington, D.C.
The demonstrations remained peaceful in almost all cities, but as the evening grew in Los Angeles, tensions escalated between police and protesters.
After a day of peaceful protests in Los Angeles, tensions mounted between protesters and Marines outside the federal building in downtown LA.
Some protesters chanted "shame" and booed the Marines, who were accompanied by federal law enforcement.

State Patrol Col. Christina Bogojevic asked people "out of an abundance of caution" not to attend any of the "No Kings" protests that were scheduled for across the state on Saturday.
The warnings come after two Democratic lawmakers and their spouses were shot. Melissa Hortman, a former Minnesota House Speaker, and her spouse were shot and killed early Saturday in their Brooklyn Park home. A second state lawmaker, Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, were shot multiple times in Champlin and were wounded. Officials said the shootings were politically motivated.
Bogojevic said authorities didn't have any direct evidence that the protests would be targeted, but said the suspect had some "No Kings" flyers in their car.
Organizers announced that all of the protests across the state were canceled.
The Department of Homeland Security confirmed to ABC News that it issued new guidance to pause most raids on farms, restaurants, and hotels, after Trump earlier this week shifted his stance on targeting undocumented workers in those industries.
"Effective today, please hold on all work site enforcement investigations/operations on agriculture (including aquaculture and meat packing plants), restaurants and operating hotels," senior ICE official Tatum King wrote in an email to leaders of the ICE department that generally carries out criminal investigations.
The new guidance was first reported by the New York Times.
"We will follow the president's direction and continue to work to get the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens off of America's streets," DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement on ABC News.
This comes after Trump publicly acknowledged that those industries have been hurt by his deportation agenda.

Thousands of demonstrators attended a "No Kings" march and rally Saturday morning in downtown Los Angeles, protesting against President Donald Trump before a Washington military parade marking the Army's 250th anniversary that coincides with the president's birthday.
A massive, boisterous crowd gathered in front of City Hall, waving signs and listening to a Native American drum circle and dance performances.
Signs included "Protesting is not a crime," "We carry dreams not danger" and "ICE out of LA." One demonstrator carried a 2-foot-tall Trump piñata on a stick, with a crown on his head and sombrero hanging off his back.
