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.

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.

Multiple streets were closed in downtown Chicago as a "No Kings" rally took place at Grant Park during nationwide demonstrations.

"No Kings" organizers are expecting tens of thousands of people from the suburbs and city neighborhoods to participate in a peaceful protest Saturday beginning at Butler Field in Grant Park.

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.

Federal agents shot at a woman after she rammed a law enforcement vehicle in Chicago, according to the Department of Homeland Security, amid escalating anti-ICE protests and the Trump administration’s efforts to clamp down on unrest in Democratic-led cities.
