Protesters gathered across the United States to rally against President Donald Trump and his administration's policies on Friday, July 4
The demonstrations on the country's 249th birthday came less than one month after massive nationwide "No Kings" protests similarly expressed discontent with the Trump administration

Citizens across the United States are marking the country's 249th birthday with protests against the Trump administration.
On Friday, July 4, scores of protesters took to the streets to rally against President Donald Trump's policies established since his return to office in January, including ICE immigration raids and deportation, the bombing of Iranian nuclear sites and overall perceived abuse of federal power.
The timing also aligns with Trump signing his landmark "Big, Beautiful Bill," which includes cuts to popular programs like Medicaid and SNAP and reallocates money for Trump's most controversial programs, including making Immigration and Customs Enforcement better-funded than every other federal law enforcement agency and most countries' entire militaries.
The protests on Independence Day come less than a month after the massive "No Kings" protests held on June 14 — Trump's 79th birthday, during which he hosted a military parade in Washington — that similarly voiced disdain for Trump's policies, especially regarding mass deportation.
See some of the most dramatic photos from the July 4th protests, taken across the nation.
