Labor unions and immigrant advocacy groups in Chicago are coordinating a May Day march to protest federal immigration enforcement under the Trump administration. The event, planned for May 1 at Union Park, is being led by the Chicago Coalition Against the Trump Agenda and includes groups like the Chicago Teachers Union and AFGE Local 704. Organizers say the march aims to show solidarity between immigrant and labor communities, with a focus on protecting workers’ rights and opposing mass deportations. The action is one of several planned nationwide for International Workers’ Day.
