No Kings protest against ICE arrests: Florida sheriff warns protesters they will be killed if this happens
A protest is planned this weekend across the U.S. against the rise in ICE arrests. The protests started in Los Angeles last Friday and are expected to grow during Trump's birthday parade. In Florida, Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey gave a scary warning to protesters during a press conference on Thursday, as per reports.
He said that if anyone throws a brick, firebomb, or points a gun at police, 'we will kill you, graveyard dead.' He added, "We will notify your family where to collect your remains." He said if you block roads or intersections in his county, you'll go to jail. If someone tries to run away from arrest, the cops will chase and catch them, and they'll still go to jail, according to the report by Independent.
If protesters surround a car and stop it, he warned they could be run over and dragged. Ivey also said, if you spit on a police officer, you'll go to the hospital first, then jail. If you hit an officer, you'll also go to the hospital and jail, and might get bitten by their police dogs. He clearly said, 'We're not going to play.'

Sheriff Ivey's past & controversies
Sheriff Ivey is known for making dramatic press conferences and jokes with serious warnings. In 2021, his officers seized 770 pounds of marijuana. He joked online, asking if someone had 'lost or misplaced it,' and said they could contact the Narcotics Agents to 'reunite' with it, according to reports.
But the joke came with a serious warning: having more than 20 grams of cannabis in Florida is a felony, and people could face 5 years in prison and a $5,000 fine. In 2023, a man sued Sheriff Ivey, saying Ivey put him on a 'Wheel of Fugitive' video on social media without cause. The man said his image and name were shown several times in 2021, and this ruined his job chances, as stated in the report by Independent.
Live Events
The same day as Ivey's warning, Trump's National Guard deployment in California was allowed to continue. This happened after the Trump administration successfully appealed a ruling by U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer, as per reports.

Cities brace for large crowds at anti-Trump 'No Kings' demonstrations across the US
PHILADELPHIA: Cities large and small were preparing for major demonstrations Saturday across the U.S. against President Donald Trump, as officials urge calm, National Guard troops mobilize and Trump attends a military parade in Washington to mark the Army's 250th anniversary. A flagship 'No Kings' march and rally are planned in Philadelphia, but no events are scheduled to take place in Washington, D.C., where the military parade will take place on Trump's birthday The demonstrations are gaining additional fuel from protests flaring up around the country over federal immigration enforcement raids and Trump ordering National Guard troops and Marines to Los Angeles where protesters blocked a freeway and set cars on fire. Police responded with tear gas, rubber bullets and flash-bang grenades while officials enforced curfews in Los Angeles and Democratic governors called Trump's Guard deployment 'an alarming abuse of power' that "shows the Trump administration does not trust local law enforcement.' Governors and city officials vowed to protect the right to protest and to show no tolerance for violence. Republican governors in Virginia, Texas, Nebraska and Missouri are mobilizing National Guard troops to help law enforcement manage demonstrations. There will be 'zero tolerance' for violence, destruction or disrupting traffic, and "if you violate the law, you're going to be arrested," Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin told reporters Friday. In Missouri, Gov. Mike Kehoe issued a similar message, vowing to take a proactive approach and not to 'wait for chaos to ensue." Nebraska's governor on Friday also signed an emergency proclamation for activating his state's National Guard, a step his office called 'a precautionary measure in reaction to recent instances of civil unrest across the country.' Organizers say that one march will go to the gates of Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, where Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis warned demonstrators that the 'line is very clear' and not to cross it. Governors also urged calm. On social media, Washington state Gov. Bob Ferguson, a Democrat, called for peaceful protests over the weekend, to ensure Trump doesn't send military to the state. 'Donald Trump wants to be able to say that we cannot handle our own public safety in Washington state,' Ferguson said. In a statement Friday, Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, urged 'protestors to remain peaceful and calm as they exercise their First Amendment right to make their voices heard.' Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, said his administration and state police are working with police in Philadelphia ahead of what organizers estimate could be a crowd approaching 100,000 people. Philadelphia's top prosecutor, District Attorney Larry Krasner, warned that anyone coming to Philadelphia to break the law or immigration agents exceeding their authority will face arrest. He invoked civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. as a guide for demonstrators. 'If you are doing what Martin Luther King would have done, you're going to be fine," Krasner told a news conference. Some law enforcement agencies announced they were ramping up efforts for the weekend. In California, state troopers will be on 'tactical alert," which means all days off are cancelled for all officers.
