The gatherings are part of a mass mobilization across the U.S. and globe positioned as a denouncement of President Donald Trump and his administration’s policies. In Chicago, they come amid sustained immigration raids.

The first "No Kings" Chicago protest was held in June in Daley Plaza and drew tens of thousands of demonstrators. Saturday's protest has been moved to Grant Park, a larger area that can accommodate more people.

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.

Chicago was one of dozens of cities nationwide that held "No Kings" protests Saturday. A quarter of a million people marched through downtown, organizers said.

Organizers said the protest against the Trump administration is expected to draw tens of thousands downtown, while similar events are planned across the region and nationwide.

People turned out in large numbers across the Chicago area and the nation at "No Kings" events Saturday to oppose the Trump administration.

Conservatives on social media erupted over the weekend in response to a video showing a woman at a Chicago anti-Trump protest appearing to mock Charlie Kirk's death.

After a massive rally in Grant Park, people took to downtown streets to show opposition to efforts including the deportation campaign that's deployed federal agents and troops to the Chicago area.
