Kehoe Activates National Guard

Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe has called in the National Guard and declared a state of emergency ahead of the "No Kings" protests against President Trump, set for June 12, 2025. The demonstrations, led by the 50501 Movement, challenge perceived authoritarianism, while local leaders decry the governor's move as an unwarranted escalation that undermines community policing efforts.
