Iran War and U.S. Public Opinion

Organizers say coordinated “No Kings” rallies drew an estimated 8–9 million people to more than 3,000 events across all 50 states and Europe — including a St. Paul flagship headlined by Bruce Springsteen and backed by unions, veterans and civil‑rights groups — to protest President Trump’s war with Iran and aggressive ICE enforcement. The demonstrations were marred by a Los Angeles video of a masked person spray‑painting “kill your local ICE agent” on a federal building (drawing ICE warnings) and a separate Honolulu video showing a man in an ICE‑marked vest beaten — DHS said he was not an agent and a 15‑year‑old was arrested — as polling and some Republican leaders express skepticism about escalation in Iran.
