Protests Erupt in Chicago Against ICE Amid National Unrest

Chicago has become a focal point of nationwide protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as thousands gather to demonstrate in opposition to recent immigration raids and actions taken under the Trump administration. The demonstrations have led to numerous street closures in the city, escalating tensions as protesters block traffic downtown. Disturbingly, a vehicle sped through a crowd of protesters, prompting concerns about safety and police responsiveness. Elected officials, including Illinois Rep. Chuy Garcia, are calling for investigations into possible police collaboration with ICE during the protests and arrests. Amid the unrest, community advocates are condemning the aggressive immigration enforcement and seeking to raise awareness about the impact on local immigrant populations.
