‘No Kings’ protests across country devolve into violent mobs attacking federal agents

March 30, 2026 | | Print Article

Leftist “No Kings” protesters once again proved themselves to be unhinged rioters as threats, violence, and bizarre scenes led to arrests across the country.

Major League Baseball got underway across the country last week, but radicals pushing Marxist ideologies seemed to be the start of a new riot season. Saturday, the latest iteration of “No Kings” demonstrations took place in major cities — even near the president’s private residence — devolving into smoke-filled scenes of chaos as dozens were arrested in Los Angeles alone.

“It started out peaceful, but I’m hearing things are changing,” admitted Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) as she attempted to maintain the narrative while the LAPD reported 75 people were arrested as failure to abide by dispersal orders led to the use of tear gas. “It’s important that we always have peaceful protests.”

Demonstrators with Hamas-sympathizing flags, banners promoting the Revolutionary Communists of America, and various rainbow standards were spotted across the country, as in the City of Angels, leftist violence centered around the Metropolitan Detention Center, where some were accused of hurling concrete at federal officers.

Additionally, as the arrestees included 66 adults and eight juveniles — with one adult reportedly in possession of a bladed weapon, according to the LAPD — one person was spotted graffitiing a federal building with the message “KILL YOUR LOCAL ICE AGENT” prompting First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli to ask for help identifying the individual reminding, “This is a federal crime.”

He also issued a statement amid the chaos, “Federal agents have started arresting those who assaulted our personnel at the Los Angeles courthouse. To those who were smashing concrete blocks and throwing them at our officers, we have you on video. We will find you and arrest you, too. You’ve been warned.”

North of LA, the Antifa hotspot of Portland, Oregon, was similarly fraught with chaos as radicals clashing with federal officials broke open the gates to the detention center, smashed surveillance cameras, and reportedly hurled rocks and other items at agents.

Reporting for the Post Millennial, Katie Daviscourt captured the scene as agents responded to the Black Bloc mob that held aloft signs with messages like, “THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS,” by holding their ground and making arrests as needed.

In Dallas, Texas, counterprotests led to confrontations as the No Kings mob, which included keffiyeh-clad speakers and some militant alphabet activists armed with rifles, encountered the likes of Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, onetime Proud Boys chair Enrique Tarrio, and podcaster Alex Stein.

As for Palm Beach, Florida, those protesting near President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort home favored a different kind of demonstration as women in the group lifted up their shirts to expose their bras while waving signs calling for the president’s removal, while a man with a megaphone called for repentance.
