Amid a recent increased presence of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents across Chicagoland, protesters launched a rush hour demonstration near exits of the Edens Expressway at Lincolnwood, critical of heightened immigration enforcement efforts.
As traffic on Interstate 94 flowed below Friday, a handful of protesters stood on an overpass at Pratt Street in Lincolnwood holding upside down American flags and signs pushing back on President Donald Trump’s immigration push through ICE.
“We have so much injustice with the United States government attacking the people here and abroad,” said Neal Resnikoff, who took part in the protest. “We know from history that if we get ourselves together to oppose it, we can gain Democracy, peace and justice.”
