Participants echoed concerns raised over the summer, including the administration\u2019s widespread immigration crackdown, economic inequality and infringements on due process.<\/p>\n<p>But many said their unease had deepened in the last few months, with several pointing to the deployment of the military to Democrat-led cities, ramped up deportations, and what they saw as a weaponization of Christian ideology.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just think it\u2019s building momentum, his cruelty, his bad decisions, his anti-democracy ideology,\u201d said Stephen Dubin, 73, who attended a Boca Raton protest with his 12-year-old granddaughter and her friend. \u201cIt\u2019s just getting worse and worse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Saturday\u2019s demonstrations unfolded across multiple parts of Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach and Miami while Trump was spending the weekend at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach. They were largely peaceful and heavily policed, though some clashes with counterprotesters occurred.<\/p>\n<p>In Boca Raton, a crowd of approximately 3,000 lined the blocks surrounding City Hall as a stream of cars drove by, many covered in anti-Trump messaging, honking in support. Occasionally, a car would pass bearing Trump flags; one driver had placed a human-sized skeleton giving the middle finger in his passenger seat. Another driver yelled, \u201cget a job!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many protesters were middle-aged or older. Some wore shirts identifying themselves as Vietnam veterans, while others recounted protesting the Vietnam War during the 1960s and 1970s. Some said that what they had witnessed in decades past does not compare to what is happening now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe never thought in our lifetime, after the sixties and seventies, that this would happen,\u201d said Susan Ivers, 74.<\/p>\n<p>Her husband, Joel Ivers, added, \u201cI do think democracy is on the line and we\u2019re losing it if we don\u2019t do something.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A few protesters along A1A in Fort Lauderdale carried signs invoking the sacrifices made by parents and grandparents in fighting fascism in World War II.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMakin\u2019 My World War II Vet Grampa Proud,\u201d read a sign carried by Denise Gallo, 52, of Fort Lauderdale, which also displayed a Purple Heart symbol in honor of her grandfather\u2019s service against the Japanese army on Okinawa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m scared for my country right now,\u201d she said. \u201cI see the direction Trump is going in. He\u2019s trying to be a dictator.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Multiple participants, including those who were younger, said they had personal experience with Trump\u2019s widespread deportations. They included Boca rally attendees Morgan Dailey and Hilina Thomas, both 18-year-old freshman at Palm Beach State College who said they knew other young people who had encounters with ICE; one former classmate of theirs may have to leave the country without graduating because of his immigration status.<\/p>\n<p>One 11-year-old girl told the Sun Sentinel that she worries for her mother, who is undocumented.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy mom doesn\u2019t deserve to get deported on stolen land,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>At Oakland Park Boulevard and Federal Highway in Fort Lauderdale, a crowd estimated by organizers at more than 2,500 wrapped around the Coral Ridge Mall, with demonstrators holding signs and receiving an almost constant barrage of supportive car honks.<\/p>\n<p>Some signs appeared aimed at getting under the skin of a touchy chief executive: \u201cRelease the Epstein Files\u201d and \u201cOur we great yet? \u2018Cause I just feel embarrassed.\u201d One sign offered a flabby and unflattering image of Trump and read \u201cNo kings \u2013 No idiots either.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Supporters gather along NW 2nd Ave. and Palmetto Park Rd....\" class=\"size-article_inline\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>Supporters gather along NW 2nd Ave. and Palmetto Park Rd. in Boca Raton for a \u201dNo Kings\u201d rally protesting the Trump administration, Saturday, Oct. 18, 2025.
