An estimated eight million people turned out to protest at more than 3,000 U.S. destinations on No Kings Day III on March 28th (2026). 

It’s described as the largest protest in U.S. History and the largest rebuke of Trump’s Presidency.

As many as 200,000 turned out for the flagship protest in Minneapolis - site of the videotaped ICE murders of Human Rights Supporters Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

The anger expressed in the streets is a response to masked ICE aggression against Immigrants and people wrongly identified as Immigrants, and their defenders.

Minneapolis was particularly targeted for occupation by 3,000 ICE and Border Patrol Agents in retribution against the public display of resistance during the protests of the killing of George Floyd back in 2020.

It was also targeted for its large Somali population, described by President Donald Trump as “garbage.”

The No Kings protesters were also expressing anger over the military attacks against Iran at the hands of the U.S. and Israel and the ongoing genocide in Gaza, in tandem with the deteriorating living conditions for the broad masses across the country. 

The overwhelming messaging in the many creative signs held by the demonstrators was in opposition to the Billionaire Class, Trump’s threats to illegally thwart voting rights come the Mid-Term Elections in November - and fascism.

In Detroit and the surrounding region, there were over 25 demonstrations - Downtown, in the suburbs and even the rural sectors where Trump enjoyed electoral support in 2024.

At Woodward Avenue, just north of Detroit, site of the internationally-renowned classic car and hotrod event - the Woodward Dream Cruise, thousands took over the sidewalks and the median of the four-lane boulevard.

Many more in cars, trucks and even semi-truck trailers cruised by with blaring horns and holding their own signs or displaying fists in solidarity.

The overwhelming number of participants were White and ranged considerably by age. 

LGBTQ contingents were also present.

While Union Members were among the attendees, Unions were not formally represented.

And, Pro-Trump or MAGA counter-protesters were extremely scarce.
