More than 1,000 people gathered by the Abraham Lincoln statue in front of the Illinois Capitol on Saturday for one of the many “No Kings” protests across the nation protesting policies and tactics of the Trump administration.
Many held signs and waved flags while engaging in chants as passing cars honked and drivers waved their fists in support.
Signs of counterprotest were minimal in Springfield beyond a man who circled the block several times with Trump flags waving from the bed of his pickup truck.
