New York City, protest and No Kings
Digest more
No Kings Day” protests are planned in New York City and across the country this weekend in opposition to what some are characterizing as increasingly authoritarian practices by President Donald Trump.
David Cox, 54, from Newark Valley, was arrested in Brooklyn after allegedly threatening to attack ICE agents with firebombs on the same day as nationwide protests.
During a march past Union Station, the man and No Kings protesters got into a dispute after he shouted a homophobic slur.
The "No Kings" organizing group said rallies are expected in hundreds of locations across the country on Saturday in cooperation with civil rights groups and other organizations. The movement said it mobilized millions of people at its protests in June. Here is the latest map from their website showing where rallies are planned:
“No Kings” rallies unfolded across the United States on Saturday and reporters and photographers from the parent company of The Oregonian/OregonLive documented dozens of them, from Portland to Boston. The largest of Portland rallies gathered at Tom McCall Waterfront Park and drew 40,000 people, police said.
The footage MSNBC aired is real and depicted Boston’s Oct. 18 “No Kings” rally. The views of the protest that MSNBC aired were similar to others that aired Oct. 18 by four Boston-area television stations. Cruz’s office did not respond by publication time to an inquiry.

President Donald Trump denied being a 'king' after weekend protests, calling demonstrators "whacked out" while Democrats like Chuck Schumer defended the rallies.
Millions of Americans joined anti-Trump protests, but Democrats are less popular than the president and divided over how to fight back.
Protesters turned out at roughly 2,700 rallies around the country to celebrate free speech and protest many of the Trump administration's actions.
