The Chicago No Kings rally comes as protests have ramped up against ICE and the Trump administration this week locally and in Los Angeles, where the National Guard and Marines have been deployed against the wishes of local leaders.

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.

Chicago is an anchor city for the "No Kings" protests Saturday, and city officials said they are prepared for the crowds expected.

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.

On Saturday, as the military parade in D.C. takes place, the Chicago area is preparing for "No Kings Day" protests against the Trump administration.

An appeals court made a ruling Thursday to allow the Trump Administration to keep National Guard troops in Los Angeles during the anti-ICE protests. National Guard troops have been sent to multiple locations in the United States following protests from those who are against the recent mass deportations.
