At least 50,000 at Minnesota Capitol as rallies sweep across the U.S. and overseas

At least 50,000 people gathered at the Minnesota State Capitol on Saturday for the flagship No Kings rally, the Star Tribune reported, citing the State Patrol—and crowds are still growing. Tens of thousands more marched through Times Square in New York, crossed Memorial Bridge in Washington and filled streets in cities across the country and overseas.

It’s the third round of No Kings protests against the Trump administration. Organizers say it will be the biggest day of protest the country has ever seen. (Here’s what you need to know about the No Kings movement.)

Bruce Springsteen, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Jane Fonda and Joan Baez are performing and speaking at the Minneapolis event. Minnesota has been at the center of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown after two American citizens were fatally shot by ICE agents there in January.

President Trump and Vice President JD Vance have yet to comment on today’s protests. They’ve met previous “No Kings” rallies with ridicule. Last fall, both posted AI-generated memes depicting Trump wearing a crown. Trump called October’s protests a “joke” and the participants “whacked out.”

Asked about Saturday’s events, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson told CNN Thursday: “The only people who care about these Trump Derangement Therapy Sessions are the reporters who are paid to cover them.”

The first two rounds brought out an estimated 5 million to 7 million people. Organizers expect Saturday to surpass both.
