As the long parade of protesters approached Michigan Avenue and filed past Trump Tower along the Chicago River, thousands lifted their middle fingers to the sky and screamed “F— Trump!” and “Shame! Shame!

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.

The protests were scheduled nationwide to protests many Trump Administration policies, including immigration policies and the president's use of ICE.

Five years after the national protests following the death of George Floyd, the Trump administration is wielding the lessons of that summer of unrest to justify a sweeping crackdown on anti-immigration raids and protests now roiling major cities.

At 4 p.m. as protesters were gathering, a counterprotester came to the scene — prompting angry chants to erupt from the main protest.
