The Chicago No Kings rally comes as protests have ramped up against ICE and the Trump administration this week locally and in Los Angeles, where the National Guard and Marines have been deployed against the wishes of local leaders.

Chicago police officers pin a demonstrator to the ground and arrest them at West Washington Street and North State Street during a protest in the Loop, decrying increased immigration enforcement across the country, Tuesday, June 10, 2025.

Similar protests are set to kick off in more than 1,000 cities across the country on Saturday. The rallies are intended to counter the military parade President Donald Trump has planned to mark the U.

A huge and peaceful crowed turned out for the "No Kings" rally, shutting down much of the Loop as part of a nationwide protest movement to denounce the Trump administration.

The demonstration is the latest of several recent rallies in support of America's immigrant communities and against Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrests.
