'No Kings' anti-Trump protests begin across US  DW  10/18/2025
"Millions of people on Saturday are expected to turn out both in the US and around the world for demonstrations against US President Donald Trump and the policies of his administration. Over 2,600 events are expected across all 50 US states. Events are also planned in European countries such as Spain, France and Germany, with a rally also expected as far as Melbourne, Australia."
""The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don't have kings and won't back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty," it says on the "No Kings" movement website. The website alludes to ramped up deportation efforts by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at Trump's direction and "gutting healthcare, environmental protections and education when families need them the most.""
"Earlier this year, Trump signed the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" which will likely result in milllions of Americans losing their health insurance due to cuts to the Medicaid safety net program. The Trump administration has also slashed key clean air and climate protections and made moves to eliminate the US Department of Education, which would have a significant negative impact on schoolchildren with special needs."
Millions of people are expected to demonstrate across the United States and internationally against President Donald Trump and his administration's policies, with more than 2,600 events in all 50 states and rallies in Europe and Australia. The No Kings movement unites roughly 300 organizations opposing perceived executive overreach and policy rollbacks. Organizers cite intensified ICE deportations and cuts to Medicaid, healthcare, environmental protections, and education. Recent legislation and administrative actions risk millions losing health insurance, weaken clean air and climate safeguards, and propose eliminating the Department of Education, affecting special needs students amid a government shutdown.
