There are two meanings of “should”. In this case, it doesn’t mean 「べき」or 「はず」, it works more like a replacement for the word “if”.
If Trump fires special prosecutor Mueller, Progressive groups will storm the streets in protest. To prepare for that possibility, they are organizing tens of thousands of protestors.
