Fact check: How many people participated in no kings protest on June 14 2025 in Minneapolis

1. Summary of the results

The original statement inquires about the number of people who participated in the No Kings protest on June 14, 2025, in Minneapolis. According to the analyses, tens of thousands of people attended the No Kings march and rally at the Minnesota Capitol on June 14, 2025, with a specific estimate of 25,000 people provided by the Department of Public Safety spokesman Howie Padilla ^[1]. Another source reports that tens of thousands of people turned out for No Kings Day protests in Minnesota, but does not provide a specific estimate for the Minnesota event ^[2]. Additionally, a source provides two different estimates for the number of people who attended the No Kings protest at the Minnesota State Capitol: the Minnesota State Patrol estimated about 25,000 people, while organizers of the No Kings Coalition claimed 80,000 Minnesotans attended ^[3]. However, none of the sources provide information on the number of people who participated in the No Kings protest specifically in Minneapolis ^{[4] [2] [5]}.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

Key omitted facts include the lack of information on the number of people who participated in the No Kings protest specifically in Minneapolis ^{[4] [2] [5]}. The sources primarily focus on the attendance at the Minnesota State Capitol or provide national attendance figures ^{[1] [2] [3]}. Alternative viewpoints are presented by the organizers of the No Kings Coalition, who claim a higher attendance of 80,000 Minnesotans, compared to the estimate of 25,000 people provided by the Minnesota State Patrol and the Department of Public Safety spokesman Howie Padilla ^{[3] [1]}. The national attendance figures reported by one source, with over 5 million turned out across the US, may also provide a broader context for the protests ^[2].

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement may contain potential misinformation as it specifically asks about the number of people who participated in the No Kings protest in Minneapolis, while the provided analyses primarily focus on the attendance at the Minnesota State Capitol or provide national attendance figures ^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]}. The lack of information on the Minneapolis protest may lead to inaccurate assumptions about the attendance figures. Additionally, the different estimates provided by various sources may indicate bias or varying perspectives on the attendance figures, with the organizers of the No Kings Coalition potentially benefiting from the higher estimate of 80,000 Minnesotans, while the Department of Public Safety and the Minnesota State Patrol may be seen as providing a more conservative estimate of 25,000 people ^{[3] [1]}.
