An estimated 60,000 people gathered in and around Daley Plaza at 11 AM this morning, including a marching band, voter registrars, Captain America, and a family who might have been Aztec warriors. The heat index was above 100 degrees, but thousands stayed through the hour-long rally and the march afterward. (The column of marchers was so long that as some were returning to the plaza at the end of the 15-block route, others were still just leaving.) There was a handful of speakers, though the crowd was so vast that their voices didn't carry very far. One young woman spoke movingly about how her father may have been deported. A physician talked about immigrating to the U.S. from India when she was two years old in order to seek medical care. She described the "toxic trauma" she sees now in Chicago among children who live in constant fear of their families being split up. Two more young undocumented Chicagoans informed the crowd that they are part of the community here and that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) should be abolished. A final speaker said that abolishing ICE wouldn't be going far enough: the government needed to repeal the 2003 immigration bill that led to the establishment of ICE in the first place.

And... "A water mister from the fire department cooled the marchers"
Taxpayer dollars! WTH??
They all look pretty “gay” to me.
Idiots.
Many slave owners were black.
Many blacks were free.
They know nothing, but they hunger for power.
Chicago is the third largest Mexican city behind Los Angeles and Mexico City according to Luis Gutierrez, D-Mexico
“Being black without a white owner was illegal”
Someone should study their history. There were black slave traders/owners here in America. Most were free born. Some were of high status and were the toast of society. That was here in the South.
Shouldn’t the title be “thousands of pathetic losers protest Trump “?
Vermin.
Paid protesters that aren’t going change anything. They don’t even give a shit about their cause of the week.
They’re just getting more people on the Trump train.
These people don’t have a clue as to what would happen if they got their way...Not a clue....
Any illegals in that crowd? Reunite them with their families..in Mexico.
I doubt theclaim of sixty thousand
Variations on the same theme. They are always ready to march. They just need an excuse. Different reasons each time, but same thing happening. blm, charlottesville, m*slim “ban,” ice, and soon Supreme Court/abortion.
Same America-haters every time.
Don’t cloud the issue with facts
“We have an imperialism problem”??? WTH??? Imperialism is taking over other nations and taking their resources. If anything, it is the incoming people ignoring our laws and borders who better fit that definition. We definitely do NOT want ANY part of Mexico, as they have nothing that would raise our overall economic situation.
Very few people of colour in those photographs at all from what I can see. Mostly paleface virtue signalers possibly because Soros rent-a-mob pays better than schlepping coffee at Starbucks.
No long shots of the crowd? Then the number is suspect.
Yes, I believe that title would be a lot more accurate. 👍
Notice the Arabic on the bottom of the red cloth sign.
Democrat held territory is Revolting , \o/
