Millions of people are expected to take to the streets Saturday for another round of "No Kings" demonstrations, against a backdrop of escalating tensions over immigration enforcement and the war with Iran.
The protests against the Trump administration — which swept across the U.S. last year — are planned for March 28, with a flagship event in the Twin Cities, the center of President Trump's immigration crackdown in Minnesota.
Organizers said last week that more than 3,000 rallies were scheduled in cities nationwide, stretching from coast to coast, including New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago.
Ezra Levin ... of Indivisible predicted the demonstrations would be the "largest protest in American history." More than five million people participated in similar demonstrations last June, followed by more than seven million people across nearly 3,000 events last October.
In Washington, D..C, an estimated 4,000 protestors are expected to march across the Memorial Bridge past the Lincoln Memorial and on to the Washington Monument "in defense of American democracy, the rule of law, and a healthy planet," according to organizers.
"We are all united in this fight to save our democracy from this administration, and we will win. From every corner of this country, we are all saying: NO KINGS," Levin said in a statement.

The article also states that it remains to be seen how the Trump administration will respond to the "No Kings" demonstrations planned for Saturday, after comments last year took a defiant tone.
Republican leaders such as House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) slammed the protests last October as a "hate America rally," and Republican governors warned that any act of violence would be met with swift law enforcement action.
If you attend, be safe!
