'No Kings' Protests Give Badly Needed Spark of Optimism to Democrats
- Millions of people gathered across the U.S. on Saturday, June 14, 2025, for 'No Kings' protests opposing President Donald Trump's policies.
- The protests followed Trump's deployment of thousands of National Guard troops and Marines to Los Angeles and a clampdown on immigrants, sparking legal challenges and political controversy.

- The mass demonstrations suggest growing opposition to Trump administration policies and could influence future political and legal actions around civil rights and federal authority.
