BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — The 'No Kings' protests happening across the nation is also taking place in Bakersfield.
Hundreds have gathered downtown on Saturday at the Liberty Bell. The event also featured several guest speakers, including City Councilman Andrae Gonzales.
It's part of a series of demonstrations nationwide aimed at challenging recent immigration policies. Organizers say the protest will highlight not just legal concerns, but also the impact on everyday working families, especially in the Central Valley’s agricultural sector.
President Trump has said he would sign an executive order to protect farm and hotel workers from immigration raids, but local organizers argue many of those already targeted had no criminal record.
