Nationwide Protests Expected Across 50 States Ahead Trump Military Parade

Massive nationwide protests are planned across all 50 states and internationally to oppose President Trump's aggressive immigration policies and military deployment in Los Angeles, with some 2,000 gatherings expected. President Trump has ordered a high-profile military parade in Washington, coinciding with the Army’s 250th anniversary and his 79th birthday, drawing additional protests and warnings of heavy law enforcement responses. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem faced a controversial incident when Senator Alex Padilla was forcibly removed and handcuffed during a press conference on deportations, sparking outrage among Democrats. California Governor Gavin Newsom has strongly opposed Trump's use of the military against civilians, filing a lawsuit and warning that such actions threaten democracy nationwide. The political conflict has escalated with sharp exchanges between Trump and Newsom, highlighting deep divisions over immigration enforcement and the militarization of protests. Law enforcement officials have issued stern warnings about handling protesters, indicating a tense atmosphere ahead of the weekend demonstrations.
