Millions of people took to the streets across the United States this Saturday—in cities such as New York, Washington, and Miami—under the slogan “No Kings” to protest President Donald Trump’s growing authoritarianism.

Protesters voiced a wide range of concerns: opposition to immigration raids and healthcare cuts, rejection of the militarization of cities, and criticism of electoral redistricting efforts seen as favoring Republican control in next year’s midterm elections.

Organizers estimate that nearly seven million people joined the demonstrations, which were held simultaneously in more than 2,500 cities and towns across all 50 states, making it the largest protest since Trump returned to power last January.

The protests unfolded amid rising political tension, fueled by Trump’s decision to deploy the military to several cities governed by Democrats, claiming it was necessary to fight crime and support Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) racially biased raids.

Major rally points included Times Square in New York, the U.S. Capitol in Washington, and downtown Chicago.

Demonstrations were also held in Atlanta, Boston, Honolulu, Houston, Miami, Nashville, New Orleans, San Diego, and San Francisco, as well as in several European cities like Berlin, Paris, and Rome, which organized solidarity events.

Trump spent the day at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida with no official schedule and is expected to return to Washington on Sunday. He did not comment publicly on the protests, even though several occurred just miles from his property in Palm Beach County.

However, a meme shared by the White House on X appeared to mock the demonstrations, as it showed Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance wearing crowns while poorly photoshopping Mexican hats onto House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer.

This was the second “No Kings” mobilization, following the first on June 14, which coincided with Trump’s birthday and reportedly drew around five million participants.
