Hundreds Protest Immigration, Healthcare, Redistricting Across US, UK

Several protests occurred across the United States in early August 2025, highlighting contentious political and social issues. In Nuneaton, hundreds gathered to protest immigration policies following charges against two Afghan asylum seekers, with demonstrations involving both anti-immigration groups and counter-protesters advocating against far-right rhetoric. In Grand Junction, Colorado, residents protested outside Rep. Jeff Hurd’s office, criticizing his support for President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill, expressing concerns about healthcare impacts, tax breaks for billionaires, immigration, and federal land privatization. Meanwhile, U.S. Sen. Chris Van Hollen publicly challenged President Trump’s attempt to exclude undocumented immigrants from the census, emphasizing constitutional requirements for accurate population counts. In Indianapolis, around 300 protesters demonstrated outside the Indiana Governor’s residence opposing a special legislative session for redistricting, reflecting ongoing debates over political representation. These events collectively underscore the polarized climate surrounding immigration, healthcare, census accuracy, and electoral processes.
