The “No Kings” demonstrations began as nationwide protests against President Trump but ended with violent confrontations in several cities. In Los Angeles, protesters attacked federal officers with rocks, bottles, and cement near the Roybal Federal Building, injuring two DHS agents. In Portland, an ICE facility was vandalized and multiple arrests followed. The incidents reinforced arguments from Trump supporters that the movement encourages disorder while President Trump continues pushing law and order, border security, and public safety.
