The biggest opposition since US President Donald Trump started his second term is currently taking place in Los Angeles. For days, people in the city and its suburbs are protesting against Trump’s hard-line immigration policy and US immigration and customs enforcement (ICE). Although most of the protesters are peaceful, Trump has sent to the city in the National Guard and around 700 Marines in the city in Southern California.
On Saturday, performance is expected across the US. They will also slam the large -scale exile operations of Trump, but the thesis will not be the main focus. The motto of protest is: “No throne. No crown. No king.” They are planned in each of the 50 states of the US including Alaska and Hawaii Islands. The organizers expect a total of 2,000 people.
What are ‘No Kings’ about protests?
As a result of Trump’s decision to deploy the army against protesters in LA, Saturday’s upcoming opposition has attracted more attention. But “no kings” protests are considered more common against the Trump administration and not only migration policies.
“They have defeated our courts, have deported Americans, have disappeared people on the streets, attacked our civil rights, and reduced our services, calling” no kings “websites.
50501 – 50 states, 50 protests, a agitation – a grassroots organization called – orchestrate protests.
Although Trump’s supporters see him as a strong president, who will bring orders for the US, for example, by cutting government organizations or by making a rift on undesirable immigrants, making the country skilled, his harassment lake in such a way that his administration tries to endanger courts and courts and Congress for the democratic columns of America.
Trump’s military parade retaliation
It is not coincidentally that “No Kings” protests are taking place on Saturday, 14 June. This is the day when Trump is organizing a military parade in the US capital to mark the 250th anniversary of the US Army. So Trump’s 79th birthday, although this is only a coincidence.

Final major parade after Gulf in 1991
The final military parade at Washington DC took place on 8 June 1991. President George HW organized it to celebrate the successful conclusion of Operation Desert Storm and the end of the first Gulf War.
Trump wanted to organize a major military parade in the US capital during his first term (2017 – 2021), but the project was rejected on high costs and the expected damage that would have caused roads by heavy military vehicles.
This year’s parade is found with low resistance, perhaps because the 250th anniversary of the US Army is considered a grand opportunity. Its estimated cost $ 45 million (almost. 39 million), which includes $ 16 million to repair roads.
“No Kings” protests have been planned across the US, but not in the immediate surrounding area of the military parade. Trump has said that CEAD wants to bear the performance: “For those who want to protest, they are going to meet with great force.”
Although this is a safety issue, also, the organizers of the “No Kings” protests say they do not want to focus on Washington on Saturday. “They are not staged real power in Washington. It all increases,” they say on their website.
Instead of Trump’s birthday and his military parade, they want it to be about the rest of the US and their opposition.
