'No Kings' demonstrators to gather across Greater Cincinnati in opposition to Trump
A string of protests is planned throughout Greater Cincinnati as part of a nationwide movement opposed to President Donald Trump and his administration.
The June 14 "No Kings" protests, organized by activist group Indivisible and its partners, are described as a "nationwide day of defiance." Events are slated to take place in nearly 2,000 communities across the nation to oppose what organizers describe as "corrupt, authoritarian politics."
Numerous protests are scheduled to take place in the afternoon locally throughout Greater Cincinnati, including:
Cincinnati – University Pavilion (University of Cincinnati): 2618 University Circle, Cincinnati, Ohio 45219.
Union Township – Veterans Memorial Park: 906 Clough Pike, 45245.
Loveland – Loveland Elementary School: 600 Loveland-Madeira Road, Loveland, Ohio 45140.
Mason – Intersection of Mason Montgomery Road and Tylersville Road, 45040.
West Chester Township – Intersection of Tylersville Road and Cox Lane, 45069.
Hamilton – Intersection of South Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard and High Street, 45011.
Middletown – Towne Mall: 3461 Towne Blvd., 45005.
Oxford – Uptown Park: intersection of Main Street and High Street, 45056.
Falling on Flag Day and Trump's birthday, the day of protest is intended to help counter Trump's planned Washington, D.C. military parade. It also coincides with large-scale protests in Los Angeles, which erupted in response to Trump's immigration policy.
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency is carrying out a directive from Trump to find immigrants living in the United States without legal status. The aggressive crackdown has fueled anger and protests in Los Angeles and across the country, which have led to hundreds of arrests amid occasional violent clashes, vandalism and looting.
Hundreds of demonstrators gathered on June 8 outside the Butler County Jail to protest the arrest of 19-year-old Honduran immigrant Emerson Colindres, who was detained by ICE agents on June 4 during a routine check-in with immigration officials at the agency's office in Blue Ash.
The Enquirer will have reporters covering the protests and will update this story.

New financial disclosure forms were released Friday showing how much President Donald Trump made in income from his various personal businesses. Earlier this week, a new analysis from the bipartisan Congressional Budget Office released Thursday showed Trump's megabill would reduce resources for the poorest U.S. households by about $1,600 per year while households in the top 10% would see gains of about $12,000 per year. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Trump also defended the mobilization of National Guardsmen and Marines to Los Angeles amid objections from Democrats about their domestic deployment. Meanwhile, preparations are underway in Washington for a massive military parade to mark the Army's 250th birthday.

Minnesota Gunman May Have Planned to Target ‘No Kings' Protests, Police Say
The man believed to have shot two Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, one fatally, had papers in his car that indicated he may have been planning to target one of the 'No Kings' protests taking place in cities across the country on Saturday. Minnesota state police posted a photograph of papers in the suspect's car that had 'NO KINGS' written on them. That's the slogan for protests taking place in hundreds of cities that were organized by liberal groups to protest President Trump and his administration. Organizers of the protests said that they were canceling all of the planned events in Minnesota after a recommendation to do so from Gov. Tim Walz and other officials. Several thousand people had gathered outside of the State Capitol in St. Paul by early Saturday afternoon, about 25 miles from the shootings. Governor Walz said that people should 'not attend any political rallies' in the state until the suspect was taken into custody. The police said that the suspect had a list of targets and that both of the state lawmakers who were shot were on the list. The gunman impersonated a police officer, the authorities said, and killed State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, at their home before going to the home of State Senator John A. Hoffman and shooting him and his wife, Yvette. The Hoffmans are being treated at a hospital. Bernard Mokam and Ernesto Londoño contributed reporting.
