In March, an estimated 8 million people participated in 3,300 events held around the U.S. and overseas \u2014 an increase of 1 million demonstrators compared with the \u201cNo Kings\u201d event last October. The title \u201cNo Kings\u201d was intended to protest what critics called the authoritarian policies of President Trump. The first protest took place June 14, 2025, on Trump\u2019s birthday.<\/p>\n
In Los Angeles, the previous protests involved a massive flashpoint near City Hall and the Metropolitan Detention Center. The No Kings<\/a> website shows several dozen demonstrations scheduled Saturday throughout Southern California, from Santa Clarita to San Diego.<\/p>\n Hundreds line Coast Highway at Jamboree Road to take part in the June 14, 2025, \u201cNo Kings\u201d protest.<\/p>\n (Susan Hoffman)<\/p>\n Law enforcement agencies are expected to ramp up their numbers during the rallies. <\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ll [have] sufficient amount of officers if anything arises during that day,\u201d said Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson Rosario Cervantes, who said that additional law enforcement would be deployed across Los Angeles but declined to specify how many and where. <\/p>\n The Orange County Sheriff\u2019s Department will also deploy additional deputies, Sgt. Gerard McCann told the Orange County Register<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cMost of our focus, though, is going to be on making sure that everybody\u2019s First Amendment rights are protected,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd as long as the laws are followed and there\u2019s nothing \u2014 no vandalism, nothing illegal done \u2014 then our main focus will be that. But if we need to make enforcement because of other issues, if there is any criminal activity, then we will enforce those laws.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Hundreds](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1792151817_915_.jpeg\")
