1,800+ Anti-Trump Protests Planned Amidst Military Deployment
President Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to quell Los Angeles protests against ICE raids has sparked outrage. The “No Kings” coalition, organizing nationwide counter-protests against a planned military parade, condemned the administration’s actions as an escalation of tensions and an abuse of power intended to silence dissent. While some protestors engaged in violence and vandalism, Mayor Bass blamed the administration for provoking the unrest. Despite this, the “No Kings” coalition maintains its commitment to non-violent, de-escalation-trained protests planned for June 14th.
