Sat. June 14, 2025 was coined “No Kings Day” in response to the domestic and foreign policies of the administration of President Donald Trump.
An estimated two thousand demonstrations were held across the United States.
In the Detroit Metropolitan area, the media reported that hundreds of thousands held rallies and marches in numerous cities including Ann Arbor, Troy and many others.
In Detroit thousands rallied and marched beginning in Clark Park on the southwest side. The community is predominantly populated by people of Latin American descent. The neighborhood has long been a target of ICE raids and harassment.
After the rally, thousands marched east on Vernor to Michigan avenue where the ICE detention center is located.
On June 14, the Moratorium NOW! Coalition and the Anti-Fascist Organizing Coalition (AFOC) staffed a literature table where hundreds of leaflets were distributed including an appeal to the troops to not follow illegal orders. People rapidly took MNC and AFOC signs to carry during the rally and march. These signs called for “No Troops In Our Streets” and “No Marshall Law”.
The backdrop to this day of action was the arrests of hundreds of activists and bystanders in Los Angeles and various cities; the targeted assassination of state lawmakers and their wives in Minnesota; and the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
These demonstrations clearly illustrate that there is massive sentiment against the Trump program across broad sectors of the public.
Events in Los Angeles where thousands of National Guard troops have been federalized; the bombing of Iran which will intensify the already existing war in West Asia; along with the deployment of the Marine Corps; and a six-thousand-person military parade through Washington, D.C. is a strong indication of what the ruling class has planned for people in the U.S. and the world. There were a diversity of signs and banners at the rally and march. Palestinian, Mexican, Columbian, upside down U.S. flags, etc. were much in view.
