Maryland joins the “biggest protest in US history” against Trump’s plans
On Saturday, communities across Maryland organized “No Kings” protests, which organizers described as “the biggest protest in U.S. history.”
The rallies aim to criticize the Trump administration’s immigration, economic, and foreign policy measures, which come amid a statewide crackdown on illegal immigrants and the ongoing Iran conflict.
Several nationwide “No Kings” protests have taken place since President Trump took office, including enormous “No Kings Day” demonstrations. Organizers billed it as a “nationwide day of defiance,” taking place on Mr. Trump’s birthday and the same day as an Army parade in Washington, D.C., in June 2025.
“No Kings” protests were held in Maryland, including Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Howard County, and Harford County.
In Aberdeen, residents gathered at Festival Park before protesting on Pulaski Highway.
