‘No Kings’ Protests Sweep the Nation Millions of Americans took to the streets on Saturday, Oct. 18, for the second “No Kings” protest since Donald Trump took office for the second time earlier this year. The president’s administration and his Republican allies in Congress have been painting the demonstrations as “anti-American,” describing the protesters exercising their First Amendment rights as “terrorists.” Trump made his feelings clear in an AI video posted to his Truth Social page depicting himself wearing a crown while flying a plane dumping feces on the gathered masses. – Rolling Stone

Immigration agents conducting sweep on NYC’s famed Canal Street confronted by protesters The confrontation began shortly after 4 p.m., as federal agents fanned out across a section of Chinatown that has long served as a not-so-underground market for knock-off designer handbags, watches, perfumes, electronics and other goods.

INSPIRATION AND WAYS TO TAKE ACTION
On October 9, 2025, a 13-year-old Everett child, Arthur, was arrested by the Everett Police Department. ICE abducted and transferred him—first to Burlington, Massachusetts within 5 hours, then over 500 miles away to a juvenile detention center in Virginia, all before 72 hours had passed.
This is not an isolated incident. In Everett, ICE continues to operate freely with the cooperation of local law enforcement, creating fear and trauma in our communities. Our tax dollars should fund schools and healthcare, not child detentions and deportations.
