A FRESH round of “No Kings” protests is set to take place across dozens of United States cities on Saturday.

The rallies come amid opposition to President Donald Trump’s military clampdown in Democrat-run cities and growing frustration over a government shutdown that is dragging on.

More than 2,500 events are planned across all 50 states, organisers told Axios. 

Organisers of the protests include the American Civil Liberties Union, American Federation of Teachers, 50501, the Human Rights Campaign, Indivisible and MoveOn.

It follows protests on June 14 which organisers described as the “largest single-day protest against President Trump during his second term.” More than a dozen No Kings events will kick off in the Chicago area this Saturday, spreading nationwide.

The organisers say they are anticipating even more protesters will take to the street, bolstered by virtual preparation sessions for safety and de-escalation.

The wave of demonstrations reflects growing resistance to the Trump administration’s policies, centred in cities like Chicago and Richmond.

Protesters are highlighting their opposition to the use of military force in peaceful protests and the social impact of the government shutdown.

United Workers Centre (UWC) director Mara Guajardo stated: “We may change our tactics, but we are going to regroup and take to the streets again to protest.”

Agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agents used tear gas on protesters last Tuesday in the south east corner of the city, following a car accident they had caused. 

“Ice, along with other federal agents, terrorised merchants, workers, and residents,” Ms Guajardo said.

Oscar Franco, a lawyer at UWC, denounced that “a multitude of neighbours, teenagers, and children were victims of the growing aggression” by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) against Latino, immigrant, and black communities.

“Our communities have become a war zone,” he added.
