The incident in Honolulu came amid nationwide ‘No Kings’ protests against President Donald Trump’s policies, including immigration enforcement
Footage has emerged online showing a man dressed like a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) uniform being attacked in Honolulu, Hawaii. The incident occurred during ‘No Kings’ protests against the policies of US President Donald Trump, which spread across the country over the weekend.
Protesters took to the streets in all 50 US states on Saturday to protest the Trump administration’s agenda, which includes the declining economy, rising cost of living, conflict with Iran and immigration enforcement tactics.
A video circulating online of a No Kings protest in Honolulu appears to show several people violently attacking a man who was wearing what appeared to be an ICE outfit, repeatedly striking him in the head and throwing him to the ground before others could intervene.
According to Honolulu Police, the incident occurred on Saturday night. A 15-year-old man has been arrested on charges of second-degree assault in connection with the attack, although authorities have not confirmed whether the man was an actual ICE agent.
Organizers estimate the latest No Kings protests attracted at least 8 million participants at more than 3,300 events across the country, making it one of the largest single-day protest movements in recent years. In the first round of protests, more than 5 people gathered in June last year and 7 in October last year.
Reuters reported on Saturday that the largest protests took place in New York, Dallas, Philadelphia and Washington. However, more than 40% of the demonstrations were reportedly held outside major cities.
The main event was held in Minneapolis, Minnesota, which had become the focus of the Trump administration’s radical immigration crackdown after two US citizens – Renee Good and Alex Pretty – were shot dead by federal agents 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 issue after the Trump administration launched a hardline agenda on immigration and election integrity. Federal policies, including mandatory detention, upheld by appeals courts remain largely in place, while 2025 executive actions tightening voter registration and ballot rules continue to be criticized by civil rights advocates.
