Pasadena’s No Kings protest event is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 18, at City Hall, 100 Garfield Ave. from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm. Given the June 2025 No Kings protest turnout of approximately 4,000 attendees, local organizers are confident that attendance on Saturday will be in the 7,000+ range because of the especially high mobilization and ongoing awareness for the demonstration.

While there were no reported incidents at last June’s demonstration in Pasadena, that was also before our city was besieged by forces from ICE, along with other agencies occasionally lending a hand such as Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Marshals Service (USMS), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and Department of Labor (DOL)/Wage and Hour Division.
