Thousands flooded downtown Los Angeles this weekend as part of a nationwide ‘No Kings’ protest movement, blending fiery opposition to immigration raids with critiques of perceived authoritarian policies under former U.S. President Donald Trump. 🚨 The demonstrations coincided with both Flag Day and Trump’s 79th birthday—a day marked by his military-style parade in Washington, D.C.
Protesters waved signs reading ‘No Borders, No Kings’ and chanted slogans about protecting immigrant rights. One participant told our team: "Our country was built by immigrants. The Statue of Liberty invited everyone—now we’re seeing unconstitutional crackdowns. Enough is enough." 🗽💬
Organizers framed the rallies as a youth-led resistance against policies they claim threaten democratic values. While tensions remained high, the LA event stayed peaceful, with live music and street art adding a creative twist to the political message. 🎨✊
