Anti-Trump protesters rally in New York, Washington and elsewhere across the country

Opponents of President Donald Trump's administration protested across the United States on Saturday, voicing concerns about threats to democratic ideals, civil rights, and constitutional principles. Rallies and marches took place in major cities like New York, Washington D.C., Denver, Portland, San Francisco, and Anchorage, as well as smaller communities. Demonstrators expressed solidarity with immigrants, opposed deportation efforts, and criticized actions such as downsizing the federal government, firing workers, and shuttering agencies. Some protests drew parallels to the American Revolution, emphasizing themes of liberty and resistance to tyranny. Concerns were raised about executive overreach, the erosion of checks and balances, and the potential for a police state. Protesters cited issues like alleged civil and constitutional violations, threats to due process, and the invocation of the Alien Enemies Act. The demonstrations followed similar nationwide protests held just two weeks prior, highlighting ongoing opposition to the administration's policies.
