“No Kings” protests descended into chaos across multiple cities as demonstrators attacked federal officers and a faction in New York City openly called for communist revolution Saturday.
Tens of thousands filled Manhattan streets. Near Times Square, a group waving red hammer-and-sickle flags chanted “there is only one solution, communist revolution,” the New York Post reported. Actor Robert De Niro and New York Attorney General Letitia James attended the demonstrations. The NYPD reported zero protest-related arrests.
Independent journalist Oliya Scootercaster captured the communist chants on video and posted the footage to X. (RELATED: Anti-Trump ‘No Kings’ Protests Supported By Socialist Orgs That Love Dictatorships)
In Los Angeles, the Department of Homeland Security said roughly 1,000 agitators encircled the Roybal Federal Building and pelted officers with rocks, bottles and concrete blocks, Fox News Digital reported. Two DHS officers required medical attention, and First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli warned that anyone who assaulted law enforcement would face federal felony charges.

Violence erupted outside Portland’s ICE facility after daytime rallies ended, Fox News Digital reported. Video captured masked protesters wrestling DHS officers off their feet while others hurled objects at law enforcement. Portland police arrested three people on assault and criminal mischief charges, including a 26-year-old man who scaled the building’s roof.
Demonstrators breached the facility’s front gate and burned an American flag, KPTV reported.
In Dallas, police intervened to keep No Kings demonstrators apart from “Pro America” counter-protesters after the groups clashed, the New York Post reported. Officers arrested at least one protester as both sides traded obscenities.
Saturday was the third No Kings mobilization since June 2025. An investigation from Fox News Digital identified a network of roughly 500 organizations, including communist and socialist groups, that helped coordinate the protests.
The Communist Party USA and the Democratic Socialists of America sit among the coalition’s official partners as previously reported. Both groups have praised authoritarian governments abroad. White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson dismissed the demonstrations as “Trump derangement therapy sessions.”
