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

The demonstration is the latest of several recent rallies in support of America's immigrant communities and against Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrests.

President Donald Trump on Sunday directed federal immigration officials to prioritize deportations from Democratic-run cities.

Thursday's protest was arranged by the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights and other organizations. Several hundred people marched from Congress Plaza to Trump Tower.

Chicago police spotted the suburban man leaving a parking garage Thursday evening in the 200 block of South Michigan Avenue, they said.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson encouraged his city to protest the Trump administration’s immigration raids across the country. “I am counting on all of Chicago to resist in this moment,” said Johnson, who is a Democrat. “Whatever particular vulnerable group is being targeted today, another group will be next.”
