LINCOLN — Hundreds of U.S. flags fluttered in the air of Nebraska’s capital city in protest of the Trump administration.
The protests in Lincoln and at least 11 other Nebraska cities were part of planned national protests against the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement efforts, cuts to federal services and a military parade to celebrate the U.S. Army’s anniversary and Flag Day in Washington, D.C., a date that overlaps with Trump’s 79th birthday.
A reporter-estimated crowd of roughly 2,000 protesters in Lincoln stretched across O Street, the main road through downtown, chanting “no kings” and “Donald Trump got to go.” Protesters held signs criticizing the Department of Government Efficiency’s cuts, the administration’s immigration approach and stating that the nation has “no kings,” while holding U.S. flags, including some flown upside-down, a step often used as a signal of distress.
Some also held Mexican flags. Others, a Palestinian flag.
