Washington, Apr 20 (Reporter) Thousands of protesters took to the streets across the United States, in the second wave of protests against President Donald Trump this month, decrying his recent actions and labelling them as a threat to what they consider to be the fundamental democratic principles of the US. Known as "50501", for "50 protests, 50 states, 1 movement", the demonstrations coincided with the 250th anniversary of the start of the American Revolutionary War, according to BBC. Large scale anti-Trump protests rocked the streets of various cities all the way from New York to San Francisco, Washington, Chicago, to various other areas like Rhode Island, Maryland, Wisconsin, Tennessee, South Carolina, Manhattan, Boston etc. The Saturday protests addressed a number of Trump actions, including those by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) - Trump's initiative to cut US government jobs and other spending - and the administration's unwillingness to bring about the return of Ábrego García, a citizen of El Salvador. Gihad Elgendy told CNN he joined the protest at the White House to criticise the deportation of Ábrego García. He believes Trump "could easily pressure El Salvador to bring him back". During celebrations of the anniversary in Massachusetts that commemorated the battles of Lexington and Concord and the famous horse ride of Paul Revere, people held similar signs. There was also a 50501 demonstration in Boston on Saturday. Elsewhere, protests were planned outside Tesla car dealerships against multi-billionaire Elon Musk, an informal advisor to Trump and his role in downsizing the federal government, while still others organised more community-service events, such as food drives, teach-ins and volunteering at local shelters, CBS News reported. More than 1,200 "Hands Off!" demonstrations were planned by a total 150 groups which included civil rights activists, labour unions, political opponents, and LGBTQ+ supporters, with organisers saying that they were protesting against what they view as Trump's civil rights and constitutional violations. This included Washington’s efforts to deport scores of immigrants and scale back the federal government by firing thousands of government workers and effectively shuttering entire agencies. Some of the events drew on the spirit of the American Revolutionary War, calling for "No Kings"- a nod to the revolution against the country’s old British rule- and resistance to tyranny. Boston resident George Bryant, who turned up in Concord, Massachusetts accused the US President of creating a "police state" in the country, holding a sign saying, "Trump fascist regime must go now!" "He's defying the courts. He's kidnapping students. He's eviscerating the checks and balances," Bryant said. "This is fascism." Marshall Green, who was among the protesters, said he was most concerned that Trump has invoked the wartime Alien Enemies Act of 1798 by claiming the country is at war with Venezuelan gangs linked to the South American nation's government. "Congress should be stepping up and saying no, we are not at war. You cannot use that," said the 61-year-old from Morristown, New Jersey. "You cannot deport people without due process, and everyone in this country has the right to due process no matter what...////...
