Labor Day rallies held across the country protesting Trump policies

From the sound of Revolutionary drums in Boston to horns honking in southern Michigan, demonstrations were held on Labor Day in cities big and small, in blue states like New York and in red states like Texas.

One of the biggest protests was in Chicago, where city and state leaders have been at odds with the White House over President Donald Trump’s suggestion of a federal crackdown in the city to deal with crime.

“No federal troops in the city of Chicago,” Mayor Brandon Johnson told demonstrators. “No militarized force in the city of Chicago.”

The protests were part of a nationwide push loosely organized by the AFL-CIO, the country's largest workers' union. The group says it partnered with dozens of organizations to plan over 1,000 protests that were expected to be held in every state.
