UN Rights Chief Urges US to Not Use Military Force in Anti-Trump Protests
- On June 14, millions of people protested nationwide in the 'No Kings' movement opposing President Donald Trump and his policies across about 2,100 sites.
- These protests followed a larger pattern of growing anti-Trump opposition marked by previous mass mobilizations, escalating federal troop deployments, and immigration enforcement actions.
- The protests involved large gatherings in major cities such as New York, Philadelphia, and San Francisco, where participants held signs like 'Protesting is not a crime' and demanded immigration reforms.
- Volker Turk, the U.N. official responsible for human rights, called on U.S. officials to honor the right to peaceful protests and to avoid using military forces when civilian law enforcement can handle the situation.
- These events highlight intensified domestic conflicts over immigration and governance, accompanied by legal opposition to troop deployments and sustained calls for nonviolent protest.
