Hawaii protesters attack man in ICE gear (VIDEO)
Footage has emerged online showing a man wearing clothing resembling a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) uniform being attacked in Honolulu, Hawaii. The incident took place during the ‘No Kings’ protests against US President Donald Trump’s policies, which kicked off nationwide over the weekend.
Protesters took to the streets across all 50 US states on Saturday to oppose the Trump administration’s agenda, including the flagging economy, rising cost of living, conflict with Iran, and immigration enforcement tactics.
A video circulating online from a No Kings protest in Honolulu shows several people violently assaulting a man who was wearing clothing resembling an ICE outfit, repeatedly striking him in the head and knocking him to the ground before others intervene.
According to Honolulu police, the incident occurred on Saturday night. A 15‑year‑old has been arrested on a second‑degree assault charge in connection with the attack, though the authorities have not confirmed whether the man was an actual ICE agent.
Organizers estimated that at least 8 million participants took part in more than 3,300 events nationwide in the latest No Kings protests, making it one of the largest single‑day protest movements in recent years. Earlier rounds of the protests gathered over 5 people in June last year and 7 in October last year.
The largest of the protests took place in New York, Dallas, Philadelphia, and Washington, Reuters reported on Saturday. However, more than 40% of the demonstrations were reportedly held outside major cities.
The main event was held in Minneapolis, Minnesota, which became a focal point of the Trump administration’s hardline immigration crackdown after federal agents fatally shot two US citizens – Renee Good and Alex Pretti – in the city in January. Crowds of protesters later rallied to demand the removal of federal immigration agents and voiced opposition to the enforcement actions.
The shootings became a major flashpoint after the Trump administration launched a hardline agenda on immigration and election integrity. Federal policies, including mandatory detention upheld by appeals courts, have largely remained in place, while 2025 executive actions tightening voter registration and ballot rules continue to draw criticism from civil rights advocates.
