'No Kings' protests live updates: More than 8 million turned out across all 50 states, organizers say [View all]

More than 8 million people turned out at over 3,300 “No Kings” protests across all 50 states on Saturday, organizers said, calling it the largest single-day demonstration in U.S. history. The first two rounds, in June and October 2025, drew an estimated 5 million and 7 million, respectively. Independent verification of the figures was not immediately available.

Bruce Springsteen performed "Streets of Minneapolis" at the flagship rally in St. Paul, telling a crowd of at least 100,000 that "federal troops brought death and terror to the streets of Minneapolis. They picked the wrong city." Gov. Tim Walz, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Jane Fonda and Joan Baez also spoke or performed.

Tens of thousands more marched through Times Square in New York; crossed Memorial Bridge in Washington, D.C.; and rallied from Palm Beach, Fla., to London. In Dallas, clashes erupted between marchers and counterprotesters that included pardoned Jan. 6 figures. In Los Angeles, nine people were arrested after demonstrators hurled rocks and bottles at federal officers outside a detention center overnight, KABC reported.

As of Sunday morning, President Trump did not comment on the protests. The White House dismissed the events Thursday, with spokesperson Abigail Jackson calling them "Trump Derangement Therapy Sessions."
