"Another round of anti-Trump 'No Kings' protests will unfold across several South Florida cities this Saturday, among thousands across the country during heightened political unrest and a government shutdown. The protests, scheduled from Miami to West Palm Beach, will coincide with Trump's return to his Mar-a-Lago residence this weekend for a fundraiser. Previous peaceful protests have drawn thousands to cities across South Florida."
"In June, 'No Kings' protests drew thousands across South Florida, including in West Palm Beach, where protesters marched to Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach. At the time, major issues included Trump's immigration crackdown, cuts to social services and concerns about what many saw as the Trump administration's undermining of democracy. This time, South Florida organizers say that top-of-mind issues include healthcare and the federal government shutdown and the deployment of ICE and the National Guard to multiple Democrat-led U.S. cities."
"The protests also come during a time of heightened political violence, including the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk at a college campus event in September. Organizers have taken extra security precautions for this weekend, including coordinating heavily with police and not disclosing certain locations ahead of time, according to Jennifer Jones, the leader of the Broward chapter of Hope and Action Indivisible, which is organizing the Hollywood protest. Some prominent Republicans have criticized the protests in advance."
Anti-Trump 'No Kings' protests will take place across several South Florida cities Saturday, aligned with thousands of demonstrations nationwide amid heightened political unrest and a government shutdown. Demonstrations are scheduled from Miami to West Palm Beach and will coincide with Trump's return to Mar-a-Lago for a fundraiser. Organizers expect minimal disruption by staging actions on sidewalks, parks and at government buildings, though some traffic impacts are likely. June protests drew thousands over immigration policy, social-service cuts and democratic erosion; current concerns include healthcare, the federal shutdown and deployments of ICE and the National Guard. Organizers increased security coordination with police and limited location disclosures. Some Republicans criticized the events.
