Third No Kings protests to see millions across US push back on Trump administration

Key Points:

• Millions of Americans are expected to participate in the No Kings protests on Saturday, with over 3,000 events planned across all 50 states and 16 countries, organized by a coalition including Indivisible, 50501, labor unions, and grassroots groups.
• The protest, anticipated to be the largest in American history, will feature a flagship event in Minnesota’s Twin Cities, highlighting local resistance to ICE raids, with appearances by Senator Bernie Sanders, Jane Fonda, Bruce Springsteen, and Joan Baez.
• Organizers emphasize the protests' nonviolent nature, with training in de-escalation and a ban on weapons, following past incidents of violence at similar events.
• The protests address multiple issues, including ICE raids, voting rights threats, and economic pressures like rising gas and grocery prices, amid ongoing federal prosecutions of anti-ICE activists.
• Despite concerns about potential ICE presence at protests, the ACLU advises attendees that such actions are intimidation tactics and encourages participants to know their rights; organizers view No Kings Day as part of a sustained movement against the Trump administration.
