Overview

• Hundreds gathered in front of the White House and New York Public Library, chanting 'No King' and 'Bring them home' to protest perceived autocratic governance and unlawful deportations.
• The protests were organized by grassroots group 50501, which aims to defend democracy against what it describes as emerging autocracy under Trump.
• Protesters highlighted the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador without due process as a key example of rights violations under current immigration policies.
• This wave of demonstrations follows earlier large-scale protests two weeks ago, where tens of thousands rallied across the United States against Trump’s policies.
• The Trump administration’s sweeping executive actions, including mass deportations and a universal 10% tariff, have fueled growing domestic and international opposition.
