The "No to Kings" protests held across the United States resonated widely throughout the country with millions of participants. Crowds reacting to President Donald Trump's domestic and foreign policies filled the squares in many cities, particularly targeting attacks on Iran and the government's approach to governance. The epicenter of the demonstrations was Minnesota, where ICE police killed two individuals.
Millions of people in the U.S. gathered for the "No Kings" protests, responding to the administration and policies of President Donald Trump. The demonstrations held across the country attracted significant participation.
PROTESTS AT THOUSANDS OF LOCATIONS IN 50 STATES
According to the NoKings organization, more than 9 million people registered for protests held at over 3,100 locations across 50 states in the U.S.
Squares filled up in many major cities, from Washington D.C. to Los Angeles, and from New York to Chicago.
IRAN ATTACKS ON THE AGENDA
One of the most notable topics in this year's protests was the U.S. attacks on Iran in conjunction with Israel. Protesters criticized both foreign policy and the overall approach of the Trump administration with banners and slogans.
MINNESOTA BECAME THE CENTER OF PROTESTS
The focal point of the protests was the state of Minnesota, which came into the spotlight due to allegations that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials caused the deaths of two U.S. citizens during the protests.
The rally held in St. Paul was broadcast live through the organization's website. The program featured names like Bruce Springsteen, Jane Fonda, and Ilhan Omar.
MAJOR MARCHES IN WASHINGTON AND NEW YORK
In Washington D.C., protesters marched from the Memorial Bridge to the Washington Monument as part of the "March to DC."
In New York, thousands gathered in Central Park and Columbus Circle, marching to Times Square via 7th Avenue.
Protesters carried banners reading "No Kings," "Trump must go," and "Stop the war."
HARSH RESPONSE FROM THE WHITE HOUSE
The White House described the protests as "the product of leftist funding networks with no real public support."
Spokesperson Abigail Jackson used dismissive language in her statement targeting the protesters.
PROTESTS REACHED A GLOBAL DIMENSION
The "No Kings" demonstrations were not limited to the U.S. Similar protests were held in countries like France, England, Japan, and Australia.
Approximately 5 million people participated in the protests held for the first time on Trump's birthday in 2025.
In the second protests held in October of the same year, participation exceeded 7 million, and this year's demonstrations further expanded the movement.
