Community leaders and protesters marched down Sheridan Road in North Chicago and protested in front of Naval Station Great Lakes while calling for ICE to leave Illinois.
Coalition for Spiritual and Public Leadership held an “interfaith prayer march” on Saturday afternoon where faith leaders and many other grassroots community organizations attended.
Several people spoke to the crowd, with one reverend saying that ICE has “blood on its hands” and calling them killers.
The protest, denouncing ICE and “military presence,” continued outside the naval base later in the afternoon.
The hundreds of agents are operating out of Naval Station Great Lakes and housed in nearby hotels for the immigration operation.
