The national “No Kings” protests were held in Louisiana, a Republican state that is not likely to see significant changes in its power structure in the upcoming congressional midterm elections. Protests were held across the state, with opposition to President Donald Trump's decision to attack Iran and his administration's policies on immigration and the environment among the main issues. Demonstrations took place in 11 cities across Louisiana, with hundreds of demonstrators rallying at Prejean Unity Point in downtown Lafayette. Cajun musician Horace Trahan expressed frustration over the Trump administration's handling of immigration enforcement and expressed hope for more protests. In New Orleans, tens of thousands gathered for speeches and musical performances before a march through the Tremé neighborhood.
