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.

A car sped through a protest in Chicago today that drew thousands to the Loop to decry Trump policies and ICE.

Protests across the country including in Chicago over federal immigration enforcement raids and President Donald Trump’s move to mobilize the National Guard and Marines in Los Angeles are expected to continue Friday and into the weekend.

The rally at Daley Plaza started at noon with a moment of silence for the shootings in Minnesota before moving into the streets of downtown Chicago.

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.

A group of demonstrators made their way through Chicago’s Loop Tuesday, with a car driving toward protesters in a scary scene.

Records obtained by the Sun-Times show the police have handed over documents that include the names, addresses and countries of origin of people targeted by federal immigration authorities.

Overtime for police officers responding to the protests reached nearly $12 million, according to the city's top budget analyst.

Trump directed ICE to deport immigrants in the U.S. illegally, specifically from Democratic-run cities such as New York and Chicago.
