In the Greater Boston area, thousands of “No Kings” marches and rallies are taking place, part of major demonstrations planned across the country.

The statue was vandalized with red spray paint lettering and white paint on the granite base and the steps around the statue.

A rally will be held in Boston on Monday afternoon in response to ICE raids and protests in Los Angeles over the weekend.

At the end of a week when President Donald Trump sent Marines and the California National Guard to Los Angeles to quell protests, Americans across the country turned out in huge numbers to protest Trump's attempts to expand his power.

The Boston protest was one of many across the country in support of David Huerta, president of the California SEIU, who was detained by federal officials in Los Angeles on Friday.
