‘No Kings’ protests live: Anti-Trump rallies begin as MAGA downplays event

Two survivors of Thursday’s US military strike against an alleged Venezuelan drug cartel boat are now being deported back to their countries of origin, President Donald Trump confirmed.

On Saturday, Trump confirmed the latest developments on Truth Social: “It was my great honor to destroy a very large drug-carrying submarine that was headed to the United States on a well-known drug trafficking transit route.”

He added: “US Intelligence has confirmed that this ship was loaded mostly with fentanyl and other illegal narcotics. There were four known narcotics terrorists on board. Two terrorists were killed. At least 25,000 Americans would die if I allowed this submarine to come ashore.”

Trump said the two survivors were being returned to their native Ecuador and Colombia for detention and prosecution.

“No US forces were harmed in this attack. Under my watch, the United States will not tolerate narcotics terrorists smuggling illegal drugs by land or sea. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” He has written.

in an interview with cnn At the rally, Cusack claimed Trump misunderstands Chicago. The president has asked the Supreme Court for permission to send troops to the city, arguing they are needed to protect federal border and immigration officials. City officials insist they are not needed.

“What’s interesting is that he doesn’t understand that all the labor rights around the world came from this city, this place,” Cusack said, “so if he thinks this place is going to become a fascist center – no chance!”

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker speaks of resistance and compassion as he addresses a large crowd in Chicago’s Grant Park during the Windy City’s ‘No Kings protest’.

He asked, “History will judge us based on where we stand today. Future generations will ask: ‘What did we do when fellow human beings faced oppression? When our rights were being violated? When our Constitution was under attack?’ “They would like to know whether we stood up or remained silent.

The Democratic governor continued, “Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, your compliance; democracy requires courage.”

“Resistance means choosing solidarity over fear, and it means recognizing that an attack on immigrants’ rights to free speech, on due process, is an attack on the rights of everyone,” Pritzker told the crowd. “It means understanding that we are either building a society based on human dignity, or we are building a society based on domination.”

As millions of people across the country have taken to the streets to protest President Donald Trump’s administration, the President has remained out of the public eye.

Senators Bernie Sanders and Chris Murphy addressed the crowd in Washington, DC, along with other speakers, but Trump was not seen anywhere near the White House.

According to White House pool reports, he is several miles away in Palm Beach.

As of 2:30 p.m., the President has not commented publicly on the ongoing nationwide protests against his administration today.

Sanders not only condemned Trump, but also condemned the billionaires who have “hijacked” the American political system.

“This moment is not just about one man’s greed, one man’s corruption, or one man’s contempt for the Constitution,” he told the D.C. crowd. “This is about a handful of the wealthiest people on Earth who, in their insatiable greed, have taken over our economy and our political system to enrich themselves at the expense of working families across this country.”

He condemned the billionaires who helped finance Trump’s re-election campaign and attended his inauguration, specifically naming Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg.

He said, “We rejected the divine right of kings in the 1770s. We would not accept the divine right of oligarchs today.”

Independent Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont addressed the Washington, DC ‘No Kings’ rally on Saturday afternoon.

When Sanders took the stage, he was greeted by a huge roar from the crowd.

House Speaker Mike Johnson “called these rallies ‘Hate America incidents.'” Boy, did he have it wrong,” Sanders said.

Millions of people came out in thousands of cities across the country, he said, “not because they hate America, but because they love America.”

He warned that the American experiment “is now in danger.”

Sanders listed a long list of examples in which he said democracy is in danger, including federal masked agents deployed in American cities, Trump’s lawsuits against media companies and the president’s threats to arrest and jail his perceived political enemies.

Santos, 37, served just 84 days of a more than seven-year sentence he was sentenced in April to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft — charges stemming from his elaborate schemes to defraud donors and steal the identities of 11 people, including family members, to finance his campaign.

The New York Police Department said they would remain in the city to ensure that demonstrators could protest “peacefully and safely” at “No Kings” rallies.

The NYPD said, “No Kings protests are taking place across the city today. The NYPD will be on hand to ensure everyone can peacefully and safely exercise their First Amendment rights.”

“As a reminder, there will be zero tolerance for any illegal activity or anyone breaking the law.”
