"The defining story of this Saturday's mobilisation is not just how many people are protesting, but where they are protesting, said Leah Greenberg, cofounder of the progressive nonprofit Indivisible."
"The midwestern state became a focal point for Trump's hardline immigration crackdown in December, when he launched Operation Metro Surge, which saw more than 3,000 federal immigration agents descend on the Twin Cities."
"Saturday's protest will commemorate those deaths in Minnesota, with speeches, concerts and appearances from activists, labour leaders and political figures."
No Kings protests are taking place across the United States, marking the third round since President Trump began his second term. Over 3,300 events are planned nationwide, with significant participation expected outside major cities. The main event is in the Minneapolis-St Paul area, commemorating the deaths of two US citizens during a controversial immigration operation. Organizers aim to engage voters in conservative areas, highlighting the importance of both the number and location of protests in this mobilization against current policies.
