Demonstrations will be held across the US, with flagship event in Twin Cities, where ICE fatally shot two people

A third No Kings protest will be held on 28 March, organizers announced today. Ezra Levin, co-founder of Indivisible, one of the groups coordinating No Kings, said that he expects it to be “the biggest protest in American history”.

Protests will be held nationwide, with a flagship event in Minnesota’s Twin Cities – Minneapolis and St Paul – where this month federal immigration agents killed two residents, Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good, amid their escalated operations in the region.

Levin said No Kings 3 is a response to many Americans’ growing outrage over Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) “reign of terror” in communities across the country. The coalition behind the No Kings protests also hosted a mass mobilization “weekend of action” immediately following Good’s death, which included more than 1,000 protests, vigils and other events. According to recent polling from YouGov, more Americans now support abolishing ICE than oppose it.

    We all know NoKings is an astroturfed oligarchy movement to offer a pressure release valve so things don’t explode like they have around the world. To keep things ‘peaceful’ so as to not threaten the power structure. They can go home and proclaim I was an activist between 10 and 12, then lunch, on a random Saturday.
