This is a very dangerous time for freedom in America
It is noted that protests are also planned near Tesla car dealerships against billionaire Trump advisor Elon Musk and his role in shrinking the federal government.
Organizers say they are protesting what they call Trump's violations of civil rights and the constitution, including attempts to deport dozens of immigrants and shrink the federal government by firing thousands of civil servants and effectively shutting down entire agencies
Boston resident George Bryant, who was among the protesters in Concord, Massachusetts, said he was concerned that Trump is creating a "police state" in America and held up a sign that read: "Trump's fascist regime must go now!"
In Washington, Bob Fasick said he rallied near the White House out of concern for threats to constitutionally protected due process rights, as well as social welfare programs and other federal social safety net programs.
And in Manhattan, protesters rallied against immigrant deportations.
