Mass protests against Trump’s “No Kings” slogan have gripped the US.

On Saturday, March 28, the third round of large-scale “No Kings” protests against Donald Trump’s policies took place in the United States.

Reuters reports this.

In total, more than 3,200 events were planned across the country. The events spanned all 50 states and were even larger than previous ones, with a significant increase in participation from residents of smaller communities.

The largest rallies took place in New York , Dallas , Philadelphia , and Washington , D.C. In New York, tens of thousands of people took to the streets of Manhattan, blocking more than 10 city blocks. Actor Robert De Niro , who supported the protest, stated that no president had ever posed such a threat to the country’s freedoms and security.

Minnesota became one of the centers of the protests, where a mass rally took place at the state capitol in St. Paul. Governor Tim Walz and Senator Bernie Sanders addressed the participants. Musician Bruce Springsteen also performed a song dedicated to the events in Minneapolis.

Near Dallas, clashes erupted between protesters and counterprotesters affiliated with the Proud Boys , led by Enrique Tarrio . Police arrested several people.

In Los Angeles, law enforcement officers detained two people after attacks on federal officers, injuring two of them.

The protests also had an anti-war character, with participants speaking out against US and Israeli actions in Iran and criticizing the Trump administration’s immigration policies.

Organizers note that in the lead-up to the November midterm elections, anti-presidential activism is growing even in traditionally Republican states. Previous “No Kings” protests attracted millions of people: up to 6 million in June of last year, and around 7 million in the fall.
