The “No Kings” movement is preparing for a massive showdown on March 28, 2026, as public fury intensifies over two fatal shootings of U.S. citizens by federal agents in Minneapolis. Organizers are signaling that this third wave of demonstrations could become the largest mobilization in American history, shifting from a protest against executive overreach to a direct confrontation over federal use of force.

- Renée Nicole Good (Jan 7): The 37-year-old was shot by an ICE agent while in her vehicle, an event that triggered the first U.S. statewide general strike in eight decades.
- Alex Pretti (Jan 24): A local ICU nurse killed by federal agents in downtown Minneapolis. While officials allege Pretti was a threat, bystanders maintain he was merely recording the agents and attempting to provide aid.
The March 28 Mobilization
Led by the Indivisible coalition and over 200 allied organizations, the upcoming “No Kings” protest aims to channel grief into political action.
- Projected Scale: Organizers estimate a turnout of 9 million people nationwide.
- Core Demands: The coalition is demanding the immediate withdrawal of federal agents from Minnesota, the cessation of “Operation Metro Surge,” and the criminal prosecution of the officers involved in the deaths of Good and Pretti.
- Safety Posture: Following violent clashes in the Twin Cities, organizers are reportedly implementing “unprecedented” security protocols to protect demonstrators from further federal intervention.
A City Divided
The political rift in Minnesota continues to widen. Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey have demanded the removal of federal tactical units, while the White House continues to defend the agents’ actions, labeling local dissent as “inciting insurrection.” As March 28 approaches, the nation’s eyes remain fixed on Minneapolis—a city where economic blackouts and nightly vigils have become the new normal.
