Protests against US President Donald Trump swept across the United States Saturday, as millions participated in the third round of 'No Kings' demonstrations. Organizers reported more than 3,000 events in all 50 states and several international locations.
The flagship rally took place in St. Paul, Minnesota, the site of a controversial winter immigration enforcement operation in which two Americans were killed. Thousands gathered to protest Trump’s handling of immigration, the war in Iran, and rising costs of gas and groceries.

National coordinators described the protests as the “single largest non-violent day of action” in US history. Previous “No Kings” rallies drew an estimated 5 million participants in June 2025 and 7 million in October 2025. Organizers said turnout in Republican-leaning and battleground states has been especially high, reflecting widespread concern beyond partisan lines.
Demonstrators carried signs, chanted slogans, and participated in peaceful marches, while authorities urged safety amid the massive crowds. Longtime activist “Dandidi, The Harlequin of Liberty” attended his 17th protest against Trump in Los Angeles, one of many local gatherings contributing to the nationwide movement.
National figures including Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and activist groups such as the ACLU and Public Citizen addressed crowds at key rallies, emphasizing civic engagement and the importance of non-violent protest.
