Several social justice groups have organized the demonstrations downtown. They're the latest in a string of protests in support of immigrant communities in the city.

Thousands of people nationwide have shown up at protests and rallies opposing ICE raids as unrest grows in response to the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

Chicago police said on Thursday, officers were on patrol in the 200 block of South Michigan Avenue around 5 p.m. when they received a radio call about a suspicious man wearing police identifiers.

Chicago police arrested 17 people over the course of the hours-long protest on Tuesday. Multiple city vehicles could be seen with anti-CPD, anti-ICE graffiti.

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.”

City officials confirmed reports that President Trump is sending ICE tactical teams to Chicago, the same move that sparked massive protests in Los Angeles.
