A video posted by X user Tami lWorld shows more than 1,000 protesters filling Grant Park near Buckingham Fountain at sunset on October 8, 2025. The crowd stretches onto surrounding roads and bridges under a glowing golden sky.

People of all ages and styles, from casual streetwear to neon safety vests, move through the plaza with determination. Demonstrators wave Palestinian, Mexican, and rainbow flags as they march and gather together, their movements unified in protest.

Handmade signs rise above the crowd, bearing messages such as “Trump is a Nazi,” “Abolish ICE,” “Fuck ICE,” and “No Trump, No Troops.” Red placards reading “Abolish ICE” are especially prominent among the protesters.

Chants and megaphones fill the air, alongside banners criticizing immigration enforcement. A few participants hold umbrellas, reflecting the evening light across the gathering.

In the background, Chicago’s equestrian statue catches the last rays of the setting sun. Traffic on nearby avenues comes to a halt as lines of police in riot gear form a perimeter around the crowd, though no arrests are visible in the footage.

The unedited video emphasizes the unity and intensity of the demonstration, offering a wide-angle view of the event with only faint echoes of chants carried by the wind.
