Thousands of demonstrators took to the streets from Times Square to the National Mall on Saturday, waving flags and holding signs calling for accountability and democracy during nationwide “No Kings Day" protests.

A crowd of 50, including some of the city's most prominent religious leaders, held an interfaith vigil before joining a demonstration in Times Square.

The arrests, on the crowded sidewalks of Midtown Manhattan, rattled migrants residing at a hotel and shook the theater district, which is heavily trafficked by tourists.

Protesters lined West Church Street for the “No Kings” protest in Fairport on Oct. 18, 2025, criticizing the Trump administration.
