Seventeen Arrested During Chicago Protest Over Trump Immigration Policies
Chicago, USA – Seventeen people were arrested during a large protest in downtown Chicago as demonstrators marched against former President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement policies.
The protest, organized by immigrant rights groups, drew hundreds of participants who called for the protection of undocumented immigrants and an end to strict border controls. Marchers carried banners and chanted slogans opposing policies that critics say disproportionately target minority communities.
Chicago police confirmed the arrests were made for blocking traffic and refusing to disperse after repeated warnings. No injuries were reported.
This demonstration was part of a nationwide wave of protests denouncing Trump-era immigration measures, which many advocacy groups describe as harsh and inhumane. Activists also urged lawmakers to implement comprehensive immigration reforms that provide legal pathways for undocumented individuals living in the U.S.
The incident has reignited debate over immigration policy in the United States, drawing attention from international human rights organizations and civil society groups.
