United States — 시위: 평화로운 시위

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 5, 2025, approximately 1,500 demonstrators gathered in Billings, Montana, as part of nationwide 'Hands Off!' protests opposing the Trump Administration and Department of Government Efficiency policies, including federal program cuts and public sector layoffs. The event was classified as a peaceful protest with low severity.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether similar demonstrations affect critical infrastructure or transportation networks in other locations.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation or spread of protests to locations near critical energy or agricultural infrastructure, given Montana's role in oil production and grain exports
• Track potential federal response measures that could affect government contractor operations or regulatory oversight of supply chains
