A crowd-size expert from the U.K. estimates that between 10,000 to 15,000 people attended Saturday's protest in downtown Chicago. But some estimates say 75,000 people gathered downtown.
The Loop was packed for hours with people fired up and angry with the Trump administration and their handling of ICE and deportations.
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.
Thousands gathered in Daley Plaza and in suburban events in protests timed to coincide with a military parade in Washington celebrating the Army's 250th anniversary and President Donald Trump's 79th birthday.
