About 250K 'No Kings' protesters march through downtown Chicago to denounce Trump, organizers say
Chicago was one of dozens of cities nationwide that held "No Kings" protests Saturday. A quarter of a million people marched through downtown, organizers said.
Protesters said they were pushing back against the Trump administration and federal agents following multiple detainments this week in Little Village.
Residents gathered beneath the Little Village Arch on Saturday afternoon before marching down 26th Street, chanting for ICE to leave their community.
The No Kings “Hands off Chicago” protest was one of roughly 2,500 similar demonstrations against the Trump administration planned across the country and globe, according to organizers.
The first "No Kings" Chicago protest was held in June in Daley Plaza and drew tens of thousands of demonstrators. Saturday's protest has been moved to Grant Park, a larger area that can accommodate more people.
A massive crowd packed Chicago's Grant Park for a "No Kings" rally on Saturday in protest of President Donald Trump's administration.
