WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (CBS12) \u2014 On Saturday, Florida will be one of the most active states in the nationwide “No Kings” protest movement, with more than 80 events planned from Pensacola to Key West.<\/p>\n
The demonstrations come just one day after Palm Beach expects President Donald Trump\u2019s attendance at a $1 million-per-person fundraiser<\/a> at Mar-a-Lago. <\/p>\n The demonstrations are part of a broader national response to President Donald Trump\u2019s policies<\/a>, particularly his administration\u2019s immigration crackdowns, use of ICE and National Guard deployments, and what critics describe as his \u201cmonarchical\u201d control over all three branches of government.<\/p>\n What Is \u201cNo Kings\u201d?<\/p>\n The \u201cNo Kings\u201d movement emerged in June<\/a> after a February Truth Social post in which President Trump referred to himself as a king. Protesters say the comment symbolizes a broader trend toward authoritarianism. The movement has since grown into a coordinated national effort, with over 2,500 protests expected across the country on Saturday.<\/p>\n See also: Protests planned as Trump attends $1M-a-person

bringing water, identification, and emergency contact information. Participants are advised to de-escalate any confrontations and avoid engaging with counter-protesters. The \u201cNo Kings\u201d website emphasizes peaceful protest and legal compliance.<\/p>\n While the First Amendment protects peaceful assembly, Florida law imposes additional restrictions. Protests are prohibited within 500 feet of funerals, cemeteries, and houses of worship during services. The state\u2019s HALO Law, enacted this year, requires individuals to stay at least 25 feet away from first responders if asked\u2014raising concerns about the ability to document law enforcement actions.<\/p>\n Florida enforces strict anti-riot laws, with harsh penalties for those involved in protests that escalate into unrest. Organizers are urging participants to remain peaceful, avoid weapons, and comply with local laws.<\/p>\n Find more ways to stay up to date with your latest local news.
