Tim Reid and Brad Brooks for Reuters report that "[d]emonstrators decrying U.S. President Donald Trump's aggressive deportation efforts, war in Iran and other policies took to city streets across the country [yesterday] in the third round of the `No Kings' rallies. . . . More than 3,200 events had been planned in all 50 states, after the two previous nationwide events attracted millions of participants."

While rallies took place in New York, Dallas, Philadelphia and Washington, "two-thirds of No Kings events were happening outside major cities, a nearly 40% jump for smaller communities from the movement's first mobilization last June, organizers said."

In Minnesota, a large "rally was held outside the state capitol in Saint Paul. Many held aloft posters bearing photos of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, U.S. citizens fatally shot by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis this year."
