First lady Melania Trump’s office is rescheduling Saturday’s White House spring garden tours over concerns about nationwide protests. More than 1,100 “Hands Off!” rallies are being held across the country to protest President Donald Trump’s political, economic, health, and social policies. The movement, which also takes aim at Elon Musk’s DOGE and its gutting of the federal government, is expected to be the largest single-day protest since Trump took office in January. The Washington, D.C., event is taking place at the Washington Monument about a mile from the White House. But out of an “abundance of caution,” the first lady’s office announced it is canceling Saturday’s garden tours. The annual event is free and open to the public but requires tickets. Saturday ticket holders should come anytime on Sunday instead, while Sunday ticket holders should come at the regular time listed on their tickets, the White House said.
