No Kings protests to sweep US as millions plan to march against Trump’s policies

Millions of demonstrators filled streets and public squares across the United States on Saturday in a sweeping wave of “No Kings” protests aimed at opposing what protestors called President Donald Trump’s authoritarian policies and defending the core values of American democracy.​

According to CNN, more than 2,500 rallies took place across all 50 states, drawing crowds from major metropolitan hubs to small towns alike. Organisers described the coordinated and nationwide demonstrations as a peaceful but urgent stand against what they view as threats to democratic governance and constitutional rights under the Trump administration.​

Protestors expressed outrage over aggressive immigration enforcement and ICE raids, cuts to essential government programmes, especially in healthcare, deployment of federal troops in US cities, and  erosion of democratic norms, CNN reported.
