The Chicago Police Department has canceled officers' days off for the weekend in preparation for "No Kings Day" mass protests and other planned events in the city, but CPD said it's ready to act quickly.

At 4 p.m. as protesters were gathering, a counterprotester came to the scene — prompting angry chants to erupt from the main protest.

Thousands of protesters marched in Chicago against Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in their city and President Trump’s deployment of troops in Los Angeles.

A huge and peaceful crowed turned out for the "No Kings" rally, shutting down much of the Loop as part of a nationwide protest movement to denounce the Trump administration.
