Tensions flared in Chicago as a massive anti-ICE protest took a dramatic turn with the deployment of a bomb squad. Unconfirmed reports suggested that a demonstrator may have been strapped with an improvised explosive device, prompting swift police response. Over a thousand protesters flooded the Loop, joining a growing wave of national outrage against federal immigration raids. Two protest groups merged, marching through downtown in defiance. Lake Shore Drive was shut down as chants echoed through the streets. Demonstrators called for an end to deportations and condemned President Trump’s immigration policies. The situation remains volatile as federal and local authorities monitor further unrest.
