Thousands are expected to turn out today in Chicago and around the country for a "No Kings" protest against the Trump administration.

People gathered in Chicago and the suburbs Saturday for a "No Kings" protest amid ongoing federal immigration enforcement operations in the area.

After launching "Operation Midway Blitz" at the beginning of September, there has been a rapid escalation of ICE in Chicago, with armed agents marching through the Loop.

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.

Protesters turned out at roughly 2,700 rallies around the country to celebrate free speech and protest many of the Trump administration's actions.

ICE officers in the Chicago area will be required to wear body cameras, a federal judge said Thursday after seeing tear gas and other aggressive steps used against protesters.

A judge in Illinois said she has “serious concerns” over whether federal law enforcement agents are following her order to avoid violent encounters with protesters and journalists in Chicago.
