“Larson mentioned names of officers who talked with him”
This will be more valuable than his presence at a “No Kings” rally. I hope he gets those names to the ACLU, FIRE and other organizations would can make a list and wait for a change in power.
> On Oct. 18, 2025, Kincardine, Ont., native Kevin Larson was heading to a No Kings Rally in Port Huron, Mich., when he was pulled over for a “random check” at the U.S. border crossing.
Seems very stupid for a foreign national to go around participating in political rallies of another country. Sure, you can support No Kings like I do, or anyone else, but explicitly going out of your way and crossing the border to take part in a rally as a foreign agent is just asking for trouble. And it would land you in trouble almost immediately in any country in the world.
Because traditionally countries do not like when citizens from other countries interfere with their affairs, just like when Canada did not like U.S. citizens being involved with the truckers protest a few years ago.

Why is it stupid? Freedom of assembly is not limited to US citizens.
Your phrase “foreign agent” seems to attempt to cast aspersions on this person just for exercising his rights.

He’s not breaking the law.
