In New York City, the police estimated that around 50,000 people took to the streets, who shouted slogans like "What do we want? No ICE! When do we want? Now!" and waved banners reading "No Deportation! Trump Must Go!" and "No Justice, No Peace!"

Xinhua reporters on the scene saw no arrests made by police.

"That guy isn't content to be president of the United States of America, wants to be king!" Eddie B, a resident, told Xinhua. "But we won't let that happen."

Mindy W, a visitor to New York City, said, "We need to rise up and stop him before it's too late and our democracy is gone forever!"
