At least eight million people took part in the “No Kings” marches on Saturday (Without Kings) against the Donald Trump administration, according to the organizers, EFE and AFP reported on Sunday, taken over by Agerpres.
The movement, which includes dozens of organizations and democratic activists, has organized more than 3,300 protests in all 50 US states to denounce what it calls the “authoritarianism” of President Trump.
Saturday's protest represents an estimated increase of one million participants and 600 additional marchers from last October's protest.
This movement was imposed as the biggest unifying protest since the return of the Republican billionaire to the White House.
In this demonstration, the protesters denounced the “illegal war” that President Donald Trump has launched against Iran, which has led to higher fuel prices and inflation, and reiterated their criticism of the “abuses” of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The main demonstration took place in front of tens of thousands of people in Minneapolis, Minnesota's largest city, the epicenter of national outrage against ICE and the Border Patrol after their agents killed US citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti there in January.

Minneapolis, the epicenter of the US government's anti-immigration offensive earlier this year, was chosen as the focal point of Saturday's rally, along with its sister city, Saint Paul, where 200,000 people demonstrated, according to organizers.
Rock legend Bruce Springsteen performed his song “Streets of Minneapolis”, written as a tribute to Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

Speaking in this Democratic-leaning Midwestern city, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz thanked residents for standing up to a “warrior in the making” like Donald Trump.
“We will never accept a president who is a pathological liar, a kleptocrat and a narcissist who undermines the United States Constitution and the rule of law every day,” added Bernie Sanders, former Democratic presidential candidate.
Tens of thousands of other people marched through the streets of New York, led by actor Robert De Niro, a fierce critic of President Donald Trump.
Tens of thousands of people in New York's Manhattan district, President of the United States Donald Trump and the administration organized “No Kings” (Krallara Hayır) in order to protest.

“Other presidents have already tested the constitutional limits of their power, but none has posed such an existential threat to our freedoms and security. (…) It must be stopped,” he urged.
On the other side of the Atlantic, in Rome, Amsterdam, Madrid and Athens, rallies against the American president also took place.
The White House dismissed the protests as “therapy sessions” for “Trump disorder,” a term used by President Trump and his supporters to deride the opposition.
The protests in the United States come as President Trump's approval rating hits the highest level in his two terms, with 59 percent of Americans disapproving of his performance, according to a Fox News poll released Wednesday.
