According to CCTV International, on March 28 (local time), the United States Department of Homeland Security posted on social media that after that day's protest march ended, about 1,000 demonstrators "surrounded" the Roybal Federal Building in Los Angeles and clashed with police. The department said protesters threw rocks, water bottles and concrete blocks at the building.
The Department of Homeland Security said two federal employees were struck and are receiving medical treatment, and two protesters were arrested on charges of assaulting federal law enforcement officers.
President Donald Trump's policies have provoked anger at home and abroad. On March 28, anti‑Trump demonstrations under the banner "No Kings" were held across the United States and in multiple countries worldwide to protest US attacks on Iran, tough immigration enforcement, and to voice strong opposition to Trump personally. Organizers said there were more than 3,300 events across all 50 US states, with at least 8 million participants—more than the comparable rallies held in June and October last year.
On March 28, the third nationwide "No Kings" demonstration took place in all 50 states. The organizing coalition, which includes the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), said demonstrations topped 3,000 across the country, spanning major cities, suburbs and rural areas from coast to coast and reaching as far as Kotzebue above the Arctic Circle in Alaska. Similar protests were held the same day in 16 other countries, including the United Kingdom, France, Spain and Mexico.
