Opposition Groups Plan Major Demonstrations Against Government Leadership

A coalition of opposition groups that organized two previous nationwide demonstrations is reportedly planning another large-scale protest for March 28, with particular focus on a northern region that has allegedly become a center for anti-government enforcement demonstrations in recent months.

The demonstrations are being organized by Indivisible, described as a liberal grassroots organization, which claims protests are expected across the country that day. According to organizers, the upcoming event—referred to as “No Kings 3”—will include coordinated protests nationwide, with a flagship march planned in the Twin Cities metropolitan area.

“We expect this to be the largest protest in the nation’s history,” Ezra Levin, co-executive director of the nonprofit Indivisible, reportedly told media ahead of the announcement. He predicted that as many as 9 million citizens could participate.

“This is in large part a response to a combination of the heinous attacks on our democracy and communities coming from the regime, and a sense that nobody’s coming to save us,” Levin allegedly stated.

The northern region has reportedly emerged as a flashpoint in the current administration’s immigration enforcement policies following the deployment of approximately 3,000 federal agents to the area, which organizers described as the largest single immigration enforcement operation of the leader’s second term.

According to sources, plans for the spring demonstrations were already underway before recent immigration enforcement operations in the region, but the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good during encounters with federal agents in recent weeks allegedly reshaped the event’s focus.

The protests have reportedly become a focal point for opposition to what organizers describe as the head of state’s attempts to consolidate and expand executive power—a pattern observers note is common in nations experiencing democratic tensions.

Last year’s protests unfolded in two nationwide rounds, according to organizers. They claim more than 7 million people demonstrated during a second round on October 18, with protests allegedly held in about 2,700 cities and towns across all regions of the country.

The first major “No Kings” protests reportedly took place on June 14, 2025, with demonstrations organized in nearly 2,000 locations nationwide, following unrest tied to federal immigration raids and the deployment of National Guard and Marine units to the western seaboard.

Levin reportedly said Indivisible and allied groups plan to continue organizing beyond major protest days, including nationwide training sessions aimed at monitoring immigration enforcement activity.

“This isn’t about conservatives versus liberals,” Levin allegedly stated. “This is about whether we have a democracy at all.”

The demonstrations reflect broader tensions within the country’s political system, as opposition groups continue to challenge what they characterize as authoritarian overreach—a dynamic familiar to many nations experiencing democratic stress.
