TYLER, Texas (KETK) – On Saturday, people across the United States and East Texas were out protesting against the policies of President Donald Trump.
“No Kings” protests were held in Longview, Mineola and Lufkin on Saturday afternoon, ahead of Tyler’s “No Kings” protest which started at 5 p.m. in Bergfeld Park.
“In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings. NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies,” an event description for the protests said. “We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens and defied the courts. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies.”
