Protests against federal immigration enforcement and President Donald Trump’s decision to mobilize the National Guard and Marines in Los Angeles are spreading nationwide with hundreds of demonstrations scheduled for Saturday
Over a dozen “No Kings” protests are planned for the Charlotte area to coincide with Trump’s planned military parade in Washington. Organizers say their message is clear: “In America, we don’t have kings.” The Trump administration said immigration raids and deportations will continue regardless of any protests.
“The corruption has gone too far,” the No Kings website says. “No thrones. No crowns. No kings.”
Protesters will take to the streets on June 14 in what’s expected to be the largest single day of anti-Trump protests since the president took office in January. In addition to the “No Kings” protests, several Charlotte organizations are coming together for a “Naked Emperor Parade & March” at First Ward Park at 11 a.m. on Saturday.
