Thousands of demonstrations were held across the United States under the “No Kings” banner, with protesters opposing President Donald Trump’s policies on immigration, governance and foreign affairs
New York/Washington: Protesters gathered in cities and towns across the United States over the weekend as part of coordinated “No Kings” demonstrations directed at President Donald Trump’s administration.
Organisers said rallies were planned in thousands of locations nationwide, spanning all 50 states. Large turnouts were reported in major urban centres including New York, Washington and Los Angeles, while smaller gatherings were also seen in less populated regions.
The protests remained largely peaceful, with participants carrying placards and chanting slogans critical of government policies. Law enforcement presence was visible in several cities, though only limited incidents of disruption were reported.
The demonstrations focused on a range of issues. Protesters raised concerns over immigration enforcement measures, including deportation actions and border policies. Others criticised the administration’s approach to foreign policy, particularly in relation to tensions in the Middle East.
Issues raised by protesters
Immigration enforcement and deportation policies
US foreign policy and involvement in overseas conflicts
Concerns around executive decision-making
Economic pressures cited by some participants
The “No Kings” slogan, used by organisers, reflects opposition to what they describe as the concentration of political power. The movement has organised multiple rounds of protests over the past year, with participation varying by location.
The White House has not issued a detailed response to the latest demonstrations but has previously described similar protests as politically motivated.
