On April 5, 2025, hundreds of thousands of Americans took to the streets from coast to coast to protest the draconian and often illegal actions taken by President Donald Trump including apprehension of citizens off the street accused of crimes without any due process. They also protested the deportation of immigrants to El Salvador, accused of crimes without any due process to ascertain their culpability or innocence, the arbitrary firing of thousands of federal workers and the arbitrary levying of tariffs.
