Millions of people took part in "No Kings" demonstrations across the United States, with organizers estimating at least 8 million attendees at more than 3,300 events in all 50 states in what was described as the largest single-day nationwide demonstrations in U.S. history.

Organizers said the third "No Kings" mobilization drew more than one million more attendees and 600 more events than an October mobilization. They also said nearly half of the events were held in traditionally “red” or battleground states, with turnout ranging from major cities to rural towns.

The flagship event in the Twin Cities drew more than 200,000 people, according to organizers.

In a statement, organizers said protesters were sending a message that “in America, we don’t do kings,” and said participants were responding to what they called the administration’s “power grabs,” “an illegal war that Congress and the public haven’t approved,” and “continued attempts to stifle our freedoms.”

Organizers highlighted events in Fayetteville, Arkansas; San Diego, San Francisco and other California cities; Denver; Wilmington, Delaware; Miami and Naples, Florida; Atlanta; Boise, Idaho; Chicago; Boston; Portland, Maine; the Twin Cities; Albuquerque, New Mexico; New York City; Charlotte and Durham, North Carolina; Portland, Oregon; Philadelphia; Arlington, Virginia; Austin and Fort Worth, Texas; and Madison, Wisconsin.

Groups organizing the nonviolent protests included the ACLU, American Federation of Teachers, Common Defense, 50501, Human Rights Campaign, Indivisible, League of Conservation Voters, MoveOn, National Nurses United, Public Citizen, SEIU and United We Dream, among others.

FLORENCE, Ore. — Hundreds of people in Florence lined Highway 101 for several blocks, taking part in the national No Kings protest. Some sang songs, most carried signs or waved flags, and all were angry about the policies and actions of the Trump administration.

Among the protesters was Siobhan Holden, a Florence resident and artist who expressed anger over immigration policies, operations conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the war in Iran.

But she acknowledged that just one voice won’t make a difference.

“My voice might not count for much, but I’m out here to show it anyway. Because no kings,” said Siobhan.

Supporters of President Trump were also out, driving and waving flags. Some words were exchanged between the two groups, but otherwise the protest was peaceful.

COOS COUNTY, OR — A Coos County sheriff’s deputy investigating a trespass complaint returned to Middle Creek Road on March 27, 2026, and ended up arresting two people after learning one of them was wanted on an outstanding warrant, authorities said.

At about 12:35 p.m., the deputy went back to the location to make sure the subjects had left after they had previously been warned. When she arrived, she saw a motorhome was still there, and a man who had previously identified himself as Jermery Field saw the deputy and ran inside, according to the sheriff’s office.

During the investigation, authorities learned the man had used a false name and was actually Loy Minton, who had an outstanding warrant for his arrest. Another occupant was identified as Kasie R. Jenkins.

Both were taken to the Coos County Jail. Jenkins, 48, was arrested on charges of second-degree criminal trespass and unlawful possession of methamphetamine. Minton, 42, was arrested on a charge of second-degree criminal trespass, the outstanding warrant and providing false information to a police officer.

DOUGLAS COUNTY, OR — A months-long investigation into methamphetamine distribution in Douglas County ended late Friday, March 27, 2026, with three arrests and the seizure of more than 21 pounds of methamphetamine, according to the Douglas Interagency Narcotics Team.

Investigators said the probe focused on 57-year-old James Teel of Camas Valley and his alleged involvement in methamphetamine sales throughout Douglas County. Detectives learned Teel conducted numerous transactions in the Ten Mile area.

On Friday, March 27, 2026, DINT detectives placed Teel under surveillance as he left his residence and contacted him in the 9,000 block of Highway 42. Investigators said Teel initially tried to flee after detectives identified themselves and ordered him to stop, but detectives blocked his exit and took him into custody without further incident.

A Douglas County Sheriff’s Office K-9, Trapper, was deployed and alerted to the presence of controlled substances in the vehicle, investigators said.

Detectives executed a search warrant on Teel’s vehicle and said they found evidence consistent with methamphetamine distribution. A second search warrant was served at Teel’s residence in the 12,000 block of Highway 42 in Camas Valley, where investigators said they located additional evidence, including significant quantities of methamphetamine and bulk cash.

In total, detectives seized approximately 21.8 pounds of methamphetamine, 12 grams of cocaine, 18 grams of fentanyl, two oxycodone pills and bulk U.S. currency.

Authorities said the following people were arrested and lodged at the Douglas County Jail in connection with the investigation:

- James Teel, 57: Unlawful Manufacture of Methamphetamine, Unlawful Delivery of Methamphetamine, Unlawful Possession of Methamphetamine.

- Gina Cotton, 58: Unlawful Manufacture of Methamphetamine, Unlawful Delivery of Methamphetamine, Unlawful Possession of Methamphetamine, Unlawful Possession of Cocaine, Unlawful Possession of a Schedule II Controlled Substance.

- Stephanie Wilson, 44: Conspiracy to Possess and Deliver Methamphetamine.

DINT said it was assisted in the investigation by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.

The Douglas Interagency Narcotics Team is a multi-jurisdictional narcotics task force made up of members from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Roseburg Police Department, Oregon State Police, Douglas County District Attorney’s Office and the Bureau of Land Management. DINT is supported by the Oregon-Idaho High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area program and the Douglas County Board of Commissioners.
