Advocacy groups, including Indivisible Chicago and ACLU of Illinois, are planning a “Hands off Chicago” protest noon Saturday at Grant Park following President Donald Trump’s deportation blitz that sent immigration agents to the city.

The rally is a part of a “nationwide day of defiance.” Major protests are slated for New York City, Washington, D.C., Atlanta and San Francisco.

“As ICE continues to occupy our streets and attack our neighbors, they are making all of us less safe,” said Indivisible Chicago Chair Kathy Tholin. “We have the opportunity to specifically speak out against the invasion of Chicago, in addition to ways the administration is attacking our workers, our democracy and our country.”

Organizers said the protest is expected to draw tens of thousands Downtown.
