Odessa, Texas/June 15, 2025-Hello social media friends, I’m David Gomez with DRB Media Communications Digital News. Odessa residents gathered at 42nd and JBS Parkway for the Not A King protest. Bronson Wilson has the story. 

On Saturday, June 14th, around 200 people that included children gathered at 42nd and JBS Parkway to protest the mistreatment of undocumented immigrants as well as U.S. Citizens that ICE may consider illegal. The group also voiced their opposition to Trump Administration’s goal to turn democracy into a monarchy.

A retired Christian Church pastor who attended the protest is very critical of the President Trump’s rhetoric clamming he was sent by god, and the way mega churches encouraging the claim. 

(Don Bohlcke, Retired Church Pastor-First Christian Church/Odessa, Texas) 

Other Odessa citizens were out voicing their support of the President, honoring Flag Day and the 250-year celebration. Some of the folks were at 42nd Street by Music City Mall and on the eastside of the intersection of 42nd and JBS Parkway. 

(Freda Daniels, American Loving Supporter-Celebrating Flag Day, 250 Army Anniversary & President Trump’s Boday) 

Overall, the NOT A KING Protest and those supporting President Donald Trump was relatively peaceful except for a Trump supporter trying to agitate the peaceful protest by crashing through the crowd, and a tall white male in his 70’s wearing a MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN red cap attempting to intimidate a woman who was protesting peacefully. The one thing that both groups shared was the pride in the American Flag. For DRB MEDIA COMMUNICATIONS DIGITAL NEWS, I’m Bronson Wilson.
