DOWNTOWN — With their city caught in the country’s largest immigration enforcement operation, as many as 250,000 Chicagoans flooded Downtown on Saturday to condemn Donald Trump’s administration as part of the second nationwide No Kings protest.

At one point, the march stretched a full two miles, from south of Washington Boulevard up Michigan Avenue to Wacker Drive and back south along Clark Street and Jackson Boulevard to Grant Park’s Butler Field, where it had begun hours earlier.

Organizers estimated that 250,000 people joined the march, according to Sally Schultze, a spokesperson for Indivisible, one of the groups that organized the event. The Chicago No Kings protest in June drew an estimated 75,000 people. A Chicago Police Department spokesperson said that there were “a lot” of people in the crowd, but reiterated the department’s longstanding policy of declining to give public crowd estimates.

Police said no one was arrested in connection with the rally or march. .....................(more)
