Overview
- Organizers, who coordinated thousands of events Saturday across all 50 states, estimated more than 8 million participants, though independent verification of the total remains limited.
- St. Paul’s flagship rally drew what organizers said was a crowd topping 200,000, with Bruce Springsteen performing and figures like Sen. Bernie Sanders, Jane Fonda, and Gov. Tim Walz tying Minnesota’s January ICE-related shootings to the movement’s message.
- Most gatherings stayed peaceful, but federal officials said about 1,000 people surrounded Los Angeles’ Roybal Federal Building, injuring two officers with concrete blocks, and authorities reported arrests in LA and at Portland’s ICE facility.
- The White House dismissed the mobilizations as “Trump Derangement Therapy Sessions,” while police in New York reported tens of thousands protesting citywide with zero protest-related arrests.
- Movement leaders cast March 28 as the third wave after June and October 2025 and said the campaign will feed voter drives, mutual aid and local “ICE watch” efforts, with some rallies also held in European cities.
