Thousands are expected downtown for a rally against Trump administration policies, particularly the aggressive deportation campaign that has deployed federal agents and troops to the city.
Thousands of Chicagoans are expected to gather at Grant Park downtown Saturday to protest the Trump administration’s policies, including the president’s aggressive deportation campaign that has sent federal agents and troops to the city.
They will join protesters packing parks and lining sidewalks in the city’s suburbs and in New York City, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, San Francisco and more than 2,000 locales across the country in a “nationwide day of defiance.”
The “Hands Off Chicago” rally downtown at noon is organized by dozens of local advocacy groups, including Indivisible Chicago and the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois.
Organizers said it is meant to push back against the “immoral and illegal acts” the Trump administration has taken.
