Large crowds rallied across the United States on Saturday for "No Kings" protests against President Donald Trump, with thousands filling New York's Times Square in a calm, heavily attended scene. Organizers expected millions nationwide, with sister marches abroad. The demonstrations, a second wave after June's mass protests, came amid escalated ICE arrests and National Guard deployments to Democratic-led cities. Trump dismissed the actions—"I'm not a king"—as Republicans labeled them a "Hate America rally," while Democrats, including Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders, urged peaceful participation. Turnouts were reported far beyond liberal hubs, from Washington, DC, to Rib Mountain, Wisconsin.
