Anti-Trump ‘No Kings’ Protest Movement Plans Next Major Demonstration in Twin Cities

Nationwide “No Kings” Protest Planned for March 28, Minnesota Takes Center Stage

Indivisible, the liberal grassroots organization behind two major nationwide protests last year, has announced plans for its third large-scale demonstration on March 28. The event, dubbed “No Kings 3,” will feature coordinated protests across the country with a flagship march in Minnesota’s Twin Cities, which has become the epicenter of anti-immigration enforcement demonstrations in recent months.

“We expect this to be the largest protest in American history,” said Ezra Levin, co-executive director of Indivisible, predicting potential participation of up to 9 million people. “This is in large part a response to a combination of the heinous attacks on our democracy and communities coming from the regime, and a sense that nobody’s coming to save us.”

The selection of Minnesota as the focal point comes amid heightened tensions following the Trump administration’s deployment of approximately 3,000 federal agents to the state—described by organizers as the administration’s largest single immigration enforcement operation during the president’s second term.

While plans for the spring demonstrations were already underway, recent events have intensified the focus on Minnesota. The fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good during encounters with federal agents have galvanized protesters and reshaped the event’s priorities, according to organizers.

These incidents have triggered significant backlash, with demonstrations flooding Minneapolis streets in recent weeks. Protesters have frequently clashed with authorities, leading to numerous arrests as local police declared some gatherings unlawful assemblies that were “no longer peaceful.”

The upcoming March protest represents the third major mobilization in the “No Kings” movement, which began in June 2025 following federal immigration raids and the deployment of National Guard and Marine units to Los Angeles. That initial demonstration spanned nearly 2,000 locations across the country.

A second round of protests on October 18, 2025, reportedly drew over 7 million participants across approximately 2,700 cities and towns in all 50 states, according to Indivisible’s estimates. Photos from these demonstrations show large crowds in major cities including Washington, D.C., and Boston, carrying signs denouncing what they describe as authoritarian tendencies in the current administration.

Beyond organizing mass demonstrations, Indivisible and allied groups plan to expand their efforts through nationwide training sessions aimed at monitoring immigration enforcement activity. This represents a shift toward sustained grassroots resistance rather than isolated protest events.

“This isn’t about Democrats versus Republicans,” Levin emphasized. “This is about whether we have a democracy at all.”

The planned protests come at a particularly divisive moment in American politics, with immigration enforcement becoming one of the most contentious policy areas of President Trump’s second term. The administration has defended its aggressive enforcement actions as necessary for national security and border control, while critics have denounced them as overly harsh and potentially unconstitutional.

Minnesota’s emergence as a flashpoint represents a significant geographic shift in the immigration debate, which has historically centered on border states. The substantial deployment of federal agents to the Midwest state signals the nationwide scope of the administration’s enforcement priorities.

As March 28 approaches, local authorities in Minnesota and other major protest locations will likely prepare for significant crowd management challenges, particularly given the emotional intensity surrounding recent fatal incidents involving federal agents.

Whether the demonstration will indeed become “the largest protest in American history” remains to be seen, but it clearly represents a continuation of organized resistance to Trump administration policies that began with his return to office.
