Protesters nationwide oppose Trump administration policies amid a federal shutdown, with over 100,000 demonstrating in New York City alone, organizers said.

  • The coordinated 'No Kings' demonstrations mobilized millions of Americans on Saturday, October 18, with peaceful protests held in all 50 US states against President Donald Trump.
  • Fuelled by a federal government shutdown , demonstrators rallied against delegation of the National Guard, healthcare cuts, and immigration raids demanding protection of democratic institutions.
  • Scenes on the ground showed over 100,000 demonstrators filled Times Square, New York City, chanting and dancing to salsa bands while carrying rainbow, American and Mexican flags.
  • Despite an incident in Portland, organisers rejected claims the protests were `anti-American` or `antifa-linked`, and no protest-related arrests were reported in New York.
  • Advocates and elected officials framed the demonstrations as patriotic calls to defend freedoms, with Senator Bernie Sanders urging defense of democratic freedoms and Lisa Gilbert saying `The president wants us to be scared, but we will not be bullied into fear and silence.
