DOWNTOWN — Chicago’s edition of the “No Kings” protest saw tens of thousands of people take to the streets of the Loop Saturday to denounce President Donald Trump.

An estimated 75,000 people marched peacefully Downtown as part of a nationwide day of protests against Trump, particularly around his deportation efforts and use of military forces to quell civil unrest in Los Angeles. It was one of roughly 2,000 protests across the country, and it was the second major protest against Trump in Chicago this week.

Following a series of speeches at Daley Plaza, protesters marched north towards Wacker Drive and east past Trump Tower before heading south on Michigan Avenue. People from all over the city and suburbs came Downtown to speak out against Trump’s administration, which has ramped up immigration raids , including in Chicago .

“Trump is attacking people at the margins, and we’re privileged people, but he’s going to eventually come for us, too,” said April LaCroix, who came with partner Matt Meador and their three young children. “It’s easy to think stuff like this doesn’t matter, but I was telling the kids, if nobody shows up, we don’t make a point. Every single person matters.”

The streets were filled with the sound of rhythmic drumming, call-and-response chanting and even some dancing.

Mexican and Americans flags waved as a dance circle formed around percussionists Marcos Sanchez and Sandra Morales, who were playing a Cumbia groove together on the corner of Dearborn and Randolph. Sanchez played a Guiro, a common instrument found in Latin America, while Morales used a bucket and a wooden spoon.

“We don’t want every protest to be about doom and gloom,” Sanchez said. “Music brings people together. We want joy in our communities!”

Sanchez, who said he wanted to fight for the Latino community, mentioned that some of those close to him were living in fear of ICE raids.

“It’s my duty to be out here fighting for them,” Sanchez added. “And soon [Trump] will come for everyone.”

The protest wrapped up around 3 p.m. back at Daley Plaza. Some activists wanted to continue marching but were thwarted by police lines on multiple sides of the plaza. A standoff between police and protesters ensured, though it resolved peacefully.

Some protesters moved to ICE’s Chicago Field Office, where police and protesters clashed as activists were corralled out of Ida B. Wells Drive and Clark Street.
