Millions of Americans protested against the Trump administration in the “No Kings” protests held across the US. In New York and Philadelphia, over 200,000 and 100,000 people, respectively, joined the demonstrations, while in Los Angeles, protesters gathered outside city hall, many draped in American flags. The day saw political violence with two Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota being shot, one fatally, in what officials labeled as a politically motivated attack.

The protests, organized under the banner of “No Kings,” mobilized tens of thousands nationwide to speak out against Trump’s administration, marking one of the largest protest days since his second term began. Taking place at approximately 2,000 sites, the demonstrations were organized by a coalition of over 100 groups committed to nonviolence.

Simultaneously, a military parade in Washington, DC, featuring thousands of troops, tanks, and aircraft, celebrated the US Army’s 250th birthday and coincided with Trump’s 79th birthday. In a separate development, the Trump administration’s deportation campaign reportedly shifted focus away from raids on agricultural and hospitality sectors following acknowledgment that such policies were adversely impacting these industries.
