In 2011, the FBI’s National Gang Intelligence Center listed Juggalos as “a loosely organized hybrid gang” in a threat assessment profile, as reported by the Guardian. Since then, attempts to overturn that classification (spearheaded by the group’s label, Psychopathic Records, and backed by groups of Juggalos represented by the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan) have been thrown out twice in court. Unable to find justice through the judicial process, ICP and thousands of Juggalos took matters into their own hands with the Juggalo March On Washington.
The Juggalo March is to protest the juggalo's perception as gang members, which they say causes job and legal discrimination against them

A pro-Trump rally also took place at the same time and location as the Juggalos march, but according to those who were there, the Trump march had far fewer people.
