Millions to March AGAINST Pres. Trump Today — “No Kings” Protests Sweep the Nation
The Josh Lafazan Show on YouTube - Episode 134
Welcome to the Josh Lafazan Show. On today’s episode, we’re unpacking one of the largest protest movements in modern American history—over 1,800 protests are scheduled across the nation as part of the explosive “No Kings” movement, with millions expected to take to the streets tomorrow to oppose President Trump’s immigration policy and authoritarian posturing.
This is shaping up to be the biggest show of opposition to Donald Trump since he re-entered office. And the message is clear: America doesn’t want a king. It wants a president who respects the Constitution, the people’s voice, and the rule of law.
What’s sparked this level of outrage? A mix of ICE raids tearing apart immigrant families, military deployments to suppress dissent, and increasingly dangerous rhetoric from the President. Trump has warned protesters that any demonstrations during his planned military parade will be met with “very heavy force.” Let that sink in—a sitting U.S. President threatening peaceful demonstrators exercising their First Amendment rights.
This isn’t just about immigration anymore. It’s about the soul of our democracy. Protesters are standing up against a presidency that has crossed too many lines—eroding due process, threatening the press, and now criminalizing peaceful protest. In major cities like L.A., NYC, Chicago, and Houston, people are rising to say: enough.
Yes, there have been isolated instances of violence during past demonstrations—and we unequivocally condemn all violence, vandalism, and attacks on law enforcement. But let’s not allow the few to distract from the many. The vast majority of protesters are peaceful Americans demanding dignity and accountability. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
And that’s why the No Kings movement is so powerful. It’s not partisan—it’s patriotic. Because in America, we don’t elect monarchs. We elect leaders who serve the people. That principle is what’s truly under threat.
Now let’s talk about the heart of this episode: Trump’s collapsing immigration approval ratings.
Once his strongest issue, immigration is now one of Trump’s greatest political vulnerabilities. According to recent polling from Pew and Gallup, a majority of Americans disapprove of how Trump is handling immigration. Why? Because Americans are seeing the cruelty behind the curtain—children being separated from families, legal residents deported without hearings, homes being raided in the middle of the night.
And here’s the jaw-dropper: despite all the bluster, Trump has actually deported fewer immigrants than Joe Biden. Biden’s DHS removed more individuals in 2024 than Trump’s administration has in either of his terms. So what are these policies accomplishing? They’re not increasing deportations. They’re just instilling fear.
And if the real goal is safety, then Trump’s approach is all wrong. We should be focusing law enforcement resources on violent offenders—not on long-time community members who work, pay taxes, and raise families. Instead, Trump’s tactics look more like political theater designed to energize his base with cruelty, not results.
Even former federal prosecutors and Trump-appointed judges are sounding the alarm, warning that Trump’s ICE raids and immigration crackdowns may violate the Constitution—especially the 5th and 14th Amendments. Due process applies to all people, not just citizens. That’s not a radical idea. That’s bedrock American law.
And when peaceful protesters show up to say that, they’re met with threats of military force? It’s a disgrace.
This all connects to a larger pattern: Trump governs through fear, not vision. His threats, his raids, his tweets—they’re about power and control, not policy. The so-called “law and order” president cheered rioters on January 6th but denounces peaceful protest in Los Angeles as criminal. That’s not leadership. That’s authoritarianism.
And let’s be clear: the Republican Party’s silence on all of this speaks volumes. They scream “law and order” when a protest turns chaotic, but they said nothing when a police officer was nearly killed at the Capitol. That’s hypocrisy of the highest order.
Which brings us back to tomorrow’s protests.
If you’re planning to march, you’re not just standing up against bad policy. You’re standing up for the rule of law, for the dignity of immigrant families, and for a vision of America that’s more than just fear and division. You’re standing up for the Constitution itself.
No, we don’t need kings. We need accountability. We need compassion. We need leaders who understand the responsibility that comes with power—not ones who abuse it.
So stand tall. Speak loudly. And remember: this country belongs to us—not to any one man, no matter how many parades he throws in his own honor.
