New Wave of Protests across US as thousands demand Trump’s removal and oppose immigration policies
Thousands of Americans rallied nationwide, protesting Trump’s immigration policies and calling for his removal in a new wave of coordinated demonstrations.
Thousands of Americans took to the streets on Saturday, April 19, to protest against U.S. President Donald Trump’s immigration policies and recent executive actions. The demonstrations reflect growing public discontent over the administration’s approach to immigration and governance.
The protests, organized under the banner “Don’t Touch,” were held simultaneously in over 400 locations across various states. Cities including New York, Washington, Texas, and San Francisco witnessed large crowds chanting slogans and demanding policy reversals.
In major cities like New York and Washington, protesters held signs reading “No Kings in America,” “Immigrants Welcome,” and “Remove Him,” denouncing the government’s aggressive stance on immigration enforcement. Many expressed fears about the erosion of democratic norms.
In Washington D.C., demonstrators described President Trump’s conduct as a “direct attack on the law,” raising alarms about the undermining of constitutional checks and balances. Legal experts and civil society organizations echoed similar concerns in media coverage.
In San Francisco, participants formed the phrase “Impeach & Remove” on the beach using their bodies, and raised an upside-down American flag—a traditional symbol of national distress. The protest sent a strong visual message of opposition and urgency.
The organizing group “50501” stated that the movement aims to generate swift and widespread public response to what they call illegal and anti-democratic actions by the Trump administration. The group encouraged civic engagement and legal advocacy.
Analysts have noted that the scale and coordination of these protests mark a significant moment of civil resistance in the U.S., reflecting a broader pushback against perceived authoritarian governance. Media outlets such as The Washington Post and Reuters have highlighted the protests’ impact on political discourse.
As calls for accountability grow, political observers suggest these protests may influence upcoming policy decisions and fuel further public mobilization. Whether these actions translate into legislative or judicial consequences remains to be seen, but the message from the streets was clear: many Americans are demanding change.
