00:00Welcome to News Plus Globe. Today, we cover the nationwide No Kings protests shaking cities
00:06across the United States. On June 14, tens of thousands marched in major cities like Philadelphia,
00:14Los Angeles, New York, and Houston. The No Kings movement is a direct response to President Trump's
00:21recent executive actions and increased federal immigration raids. Protesters accused Trump of
00:27overstepping presidential authority, citing mass dismissals of federal workers and abrupt
00:33deportations. In Philadelphia, over 80,000 people gathered, making it the largest event of the day.
00:41Marchers carried banners, American flags, and signs calling for justice, immigrant rights,
00:47and an end to what they call authoritarianism. The protests coincided with Trump's military
00:53parade in Washington, marking the Army's 250th anniversary and his birthday. In Los Angeles,
01:01demonstrations focused on recent ICE raids and the deployment of National Guard troops and Marines.
01:08Some protests were peaceful and celebratory, featuring speeches, music, and community leaders.
01:15However, there were tense moments, police used tear gas and rubber bullets in LA,
01:20and curfews were imposed. Democratic governors criticized Trump's use of federal troops,
01:27calling it an abuse of power and a sign of distrust in local law enforcement.
01:32Republican governors in Virginia, Texas, Nebraska, and Missouri mobilized National Guard troops to
01:38support local police. In Atlanta, counter-protesters including the Proud Boys appeared, but most events
01:45remained peaceful. Organizers emphasized the importance of non-violent protest, invoking Martin Luther King
01:53Jr.'s legacy. The No King slogan reflects a belief that no president should have unchecked power in a
02:00democracy. Despite rainy weather in some cities, turnout was massive, with over 2,000 rallies nationwide.
02:08As the day ended, leaders called for continued civic engagement and vigilance against threats to
02:14democracy. Stay with News Plus Globe for ongoing updates and in-depth coverage of the No Kings movement
