‘No Kings’ protests at some 2,100 sites took place as tanks and soldiers paraded through Washington, DC

Over the weekend, millions of Americans took to the streets in protest against the policies of the Trump administration. The 'No Kings' protests occurred at 2,100 locations nationwide, uniting over 100 groups committed to non-violence.

Donald Trump's deployment of national guard and marine troops to Los Angeles to suppress protests against his immigration policies has sparked widespread outrage. Interest in the protests surged, drawing millions of participants across all 50 states and some cities abroad.

While most demonstrations were peaceful, some encounters with law enforcement in Los Angeles and Portland resulted in tear gas being used. Tragically, two Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota were shot in what officials described as a politically motivated attack.

In response to potential threats, some states preemptively deployed law enforcement to manage protests. Despite the challenges, protesters remained resolute in their opposition to Trump's administration.

Protests in various states saw thousands marching against Trump's policies, with some Republican-led states taking a hardline approach to quell any violent protests. Despite these obstacles, demonstrators across the country made their voices heard.

The 'No Kings' protests aimed to draw a contrast with the military parade in Washington, DC, and avoid giving the president a reason to crack down on peaceful protests. When asked about the protests, Trump stated that he does not feel like a king and faces challenges to get things approved.
