Washington, 20 April 2025 (dpa/MIA) - Thousands of people across the United States took part in a fresh day of protests on Saturday against President Donald Trump's policies.

Hundreds of people demonstrated in front of the White House in Washington. They accused Trump of ruling autocratically and deporting foreigners without proper legal proceedings.

Posters read "No King." Demonstrators repeatedly chanted "Bring them home," referring to migrants who, in their view, had been deported unlawfully.

A woman from Washington said she had come because she felt that protests against Trump were growing and she wanted to be part of it.

A young man explained that if a man like Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who had been deported to El Salvador, was deprived of his rights, then we had to be careful that other citizens were not deprived of their rights soon.

Abrego was deported by the government without trial, despite existing protection.

There were also demonstrations in New York. Hundreds gathered in front of the New York Public Library. According to the Washington Post, there were also protests in numerous other cities.

This time, the demonstration was organised by a group called 50501.

"We are trying to protect our democracy from the incipient autocracy under the Trump administration," one of the organizers explained.

The first major nationwide protests took place two weeks ago. Tens of thousands of people protested in dozens of states.
