Tens of thousands of people gathered and marched through the streets of Midtown on Saturday for the third No Kings demonstration in order to peacefully protest against President Donald Trump and his policies.
, following up on last October’s event that saw an estimated 7 million people across America publicly rail against the Trump administration’s actions. In the Big Apple on Saturday, a massive crowd of New Yorkers started out at about noon from 59th Street and Columbus Circle, then headed down 7th Avenue bearing signs and banners, and loudly chanting against the president and his regime.Photo by Lloyd Mitchell, who took part in the demonstration, and the ongoing government inaction regarding the Epstein Files, the trove of Justice Department documentsOne protester, who identified himself as Juan, said he was detained by ICE while visiting a relative on Staten Island. He said he had stopped to watch people play checkers on the street when an unmarked vehicle stopped and agents flooded out. “It’s hard to imagine such a thing happening to you in the city and state that is your home,” Juan said. “Officers got out of their cars and sprinted over to our group from all different directions. It was terrifying. I stood motionless. They asked for my ID, and when I told them I did not have one on me without any other questions, the officer grabbed me tightly and handcuffed me. “I was detained for nearly a week, and I’m standing here today. Thanks to the incredible support of Make the Road New York, the arrest and detention have affected me enormously. I can’t fall asleep and have nightmares. I am constantly afraid to leave my home because I fear being arrested again.” A slew of high-profile celebrities and elected officials also attended the March 28 demonstration in New York. Actor Robert De Niro, TV host Padma Lakshmi, and Rev. Al Sharpton spoke about an hour before the rally in an effort to add their voices to the thousands of others. Robert De Niro, Rev.

None except Trump,” said De Niro. “He must be stopped, and he must be stopped now.”“Today, we reject fear, we insist on accountability, transparency in government and compassion in our elected leaders, because true leadership is not about dominance. It’s about service. It’s about everyday people, the backbone of our city and this country, and remembering that every voice matters and everyone’s rights matter,” Lakshmi said.Dean Moses is the Police Bureau Chief at amNewYork and resident photographer.
