Protests Planned Across Arizona for "No Kings Day"
Phoenix, AZ — On Saturday, Arizona is set for widespread protests against former President Donald Trump, coinciding with his 79th birthday and the Army’s 250th anniversary. Nearly 40 demonstrations are scheduled across the state, organized under the banner "No Kings Day."
Former Phoenix Police Commander Jeffrey Hynes stated that law enforcement agencies are on high alert, preparing for the events with advanced technology, including drones and facial recognition systems. "We know who’s planning what, and where," Hynes remarked, emphasizing that any acts of violence or vandalism will be met with swift action. He added, "If you’re going to protest, do it loudly but do not engage with law enforcement physically."
Recent protests related to immigration enforcement have already occurred in Arizona, including a chaotic incident in Peoria stemming from a drug investigation that was mistakenly thought to be an ICE raid. Misinformation fueled tensions, leading to confrontations with police, although injuries were minimal.
Authorities reaffirm that they aim to ensure the safety of both protesters and the public, while upholding the law during the demonstrations.
