‘No Kings' Protests Across the United States
Large crowds across the country have gathered to protest the Trump administration — in major cities like Philadelphia, Atlanta, New York and Chicago and in smaller, rural communities as well. The 'No Kings' rallies, as the demonstrations were known, were planned for the same day as a military parade in Washington, D.C., that President Trump scheduled for the Army's 250th anniversary, which also coincides with his 79th birthday.
In Minnesota, where a gunman shot and killed a state lawmaker and her husband, and gravely injured a state senator and his wife overnight on Saturday, demonstrators came out to protest despite the events being officially canceled. Several protesters noted that it was important to show courage on a frightening day.
The demonstrations follow more than a week of large-scale protests in Los Angeles against Mr. Trump's immigration crackdown and his decision to deploy the military there.
