SALT LAKE CITY — A third round of "No Kings" protests were held in multiple locations across Utah on Saturday, with the event drawing an estimated 10,000 people in Salt Lake City.

Called the "No Kings 3.0" protest, the demonstration is in opposition of the Trump administration, and followed similar protests last summer and in October.

In Salt Lake City, hundreds gathered at Washington Square Park before a planned march up State Street to the Utah State Capitol. The crowd filled the entire street, and several roads in the area were closed before and during the march.

A crowd of about 1,000 people attended the protest in St. George, and other locations in Utah reported healthy attendance.

Minnesota took center stage, with thousands of people standing shoulder-to-shoulder to celebrate resistance to Trump's aggressive immigration enforcement.

Thousands attended similar protests around the country, including Minnesota where Bruce Springsteen performed. According to the Associated Press, Springsteen praised residents for "taking to the streets over the winter in opposition to a surge of U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement agents."
