Violence Erupts at “No Kings” Anti-ICE Protest in Salt Lake City
On Saturday night, a shooting incident transpired during a “No Kings” anti-ICE demonstration in Salt Lake City, Utah, leaving at least one individual injured, according to local police reports.
As previously noted by , leftist groups are organizing over 1,800 protests across the country under the “No Kings” banner, targeting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Interestingly, this incident in Utah follows a shocking murder involving a Tim Walz appointee to the Governor’s Workforce Development Board, who has been linked to the killing of a Minnesota State Lawmaker and her spouse, as well as an attempted murder of another lawmaker and his wife the same morning.
Some speculate that the shooting could be a politically motivated “false flag” operation aimed at discrediting Republicans by suggesting they incite violence against leftist demonstrators.
In a related incident, about 60 miles away in Virginia, a 21-year-old man allegedly drove through a crowd of “No Kings” protesters, resulting in injuries to at least one participant.
