People in Jackson, Hernando, Greenville, Gulfport, Oxford and other Mississippi cities took part in “No Kings” rallies Saturday to protest policies of President Donald J. Trump.
Demonstrators at rallies across the U.S. criticized ICE raids, the deployment of National Guard troops to Democratic-run cities, the federal government shutdown and redrawing of some states’ congressional districts to favor Republicans.
Trump and many of his supporters labeled the events as “Hate America” rallies.
Hundreds of people at a rally on the south lawn of the Mississippi Capitol chanted, “Vote them out.”
“We’re here, you know, fighting for our democracy,” Clinton resident M.D. Whitfield said at that rally. “We’re fighting for due process.”
