March 28, 2026 (New York time) – "No Kings" protests have spread across the United States, quickly turning into tense confrontations in major cities such as Los Angeles, Portland, and Dallas, as tens of thousands took to the streets to oppose the policies of the Donald Trump administration.
In Los Angeles, the crowd gathered in front of a federal detention center—where Department of Homeland Security personnel operate—and the situation escalated. Protesters smashed fences and threw concrete bricks at security forces. Police deployed tear gas and dispatched riot control units. Video from the scene showed several people resisting arrest.
In Portland, the situation grew tense in the evening when protesters wearing gas masks directly charged at authorities. Police struggled to maintain control as they were repeatedly closed in on. There is no official information yet on the number of arrests.
In Dallas, police had to stand between two groups to separate them: "No Kings" and the opposing "Pro America" group. The two sides engaged in heated verbal exchanges, at times coming close to each other, forcing authorities to intervene. Several individuals were restrained and removed from the scene.
Near Mar-a-Lago in Florida, controversial incidents were recorded as some protesters engaged in offensive behavior, while the opposing group launched continuous verbal attacks with profanity.
In New York City, tens of thousands marched through Midtown Manhattan to protest the conflict involving Iran and immigration policies. Notably, in the Times Square area, a group carrying hammer-and-sickle flags appeared among the crowd, chanting slogans calling for a "communist revolution."
Additionally, celebrities such as Robert De Niro and Letitia James were also present at the protests.
According to sources from the New York Police Department, despite the large scale, the city has not recorded any arrests today.
The "No Kings" series of events highlights the profound division within American society, as issues related to war and immigration strain the political atmosphere, pushing conflict from debate into direct street confrontations.
