Nationwide Anti-Trump Protests Planned for Sat. June 14.

Protests are called the "NO KINGS" protest

Groups across the country are planning protests called “NO KINGS.” The events are being organized by progressive activists. They say they are pushing back against what they call threats to democracy. Many blame President Donald Trump and his supporters.

The group says they are non-violent but are calling for people to “Rise Up.”

Events are happening in cities big and small nationwide. Organizers are holding rallies, training sessions, and public marches. They want people to speak out and get involved. Critics say the protests are one-sided and meant to stir up division.

ICE sources confirm with Fox News correspondent Brooke Taylor that HSI Special Response Teams will be deployed to blue cities in preparation for anticipated protests happening this weekend. "These riots are not going to deter us," one source involved in planning tells the correspondent. "We are here doubling down and enforcement operations are going to happen. If anything, we will be arresting more illegal aliens in these locations."

Bay City, Michigan police tell me they will not have an increased presence, as previous protests have had no incidents.

These planned protests come as riots continue in Los Angeles.

Riots have broken out in Los Angeles over the past few days following federal immigration raids. Protesters gathered in places like the Fashion District and Compton, clashing with law enforcement. Some demonstrators threw objects, set vehicles on fire, and damaged property. Police responded with tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash-bang grenades. At least 60 people have been arrested, and some reporters were injured during the chaos.

One of the scheduled protests according to the ‘No Kings’ website will be taking place at the Meijer store in Mt. Pleasant, MIchigan.

A spokesperson for Meijer released the following statement:

“This is not a Meijer event, and we have a policy prohibiting the use of our property for any type of demonstration.”

President Trump sent about 2,000 National Guard troops. Their presence has drawn strong backlash, with Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass calling the move unconstitutional. Lawsuits have been filed against the federal government. Officials say the deployment is only making tensions worse.

So who is behind the protests scheduled for June 14th?

A coalition of over 100 pro-democracy and progressive grassroots groups—most notably Indivisible and the 50501 movement are behind the planned June 14th protests.

One of ther partners of the protests is the American Federation of Teachers led by Rande Weingarten.

These protests come on the same day as President Trump will hold a military parade in Washington, D.C. on June 14. It’s also flag day in the United States.

The “No Kings” website has a disclaimer saying they believe in nonviolence.

The group also says on it’s website they will be documenting misconduct by law enforcement and others during the protests.
