"In June, millions of demonstrators took to the streets across the nation for the first "No Kings" protests as the Trump administration's agenda began coming into focus. At that time, the Department of Homeland Security had begun carrying out large-scale immigration raids across Southern California, and Trump deployed military troops to Los Angeles in response to mass protests."
"Since then, many Americans believe that Trump's actions - doubling down on immigration raids in major cities, deploying National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., and embarking on an aggressive campaign against political opponents - have only become more severe. Trump pushed back against the underlying premise of the protest in an interview with Fox News on Friday. "They're referring to me as a king," he said. "I'm not a king.""
"More than 2,700 "No Kings" demonstrations are scheduled across the country, roughly 600 more events than in June, in which more than 5 million people participated. Demonstrations are already underway in New York, Chicago, Atlanta and Boston, drawing massive crowds."
Thousands of Americans are gathering nationwide for 'No Kings' demonstrations to protest President Trump's actions. Initial protests in June drew millions amid large-scale immigration raids and the deployment of military troops to Los Angeles. Organizers and participants cite concerns over escalating immigration enforcement, National Guard deployments, aggressive campaigns against political opponents, rising cost of living, rollbacks of environmental protections, federal agency overhauls, and potential healthcare cuts. More than 2,700 events are scheduled across major cities, with specific rallies planned at Los Angeles' Grand Park and Santa Ana's Centennial Park.
