Demonstrators will gather on Saturday, Oct. 18, to protest “violent authoritarian attacks” on American freedoms, organizers said, including the deployment of federal troops to Los Angeles, Chicago and other U.S. cities. The Trump administration is targeting immigrant families and “profiling, arresting and detaining people without warrants,” No Kings organizers said.
