Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and stronger. “NO KINGS” is more than just a slogan—it’s the foundation our nation was built upon. Born in the streets, carried by millions in chants and on posters, it echoes from city blocks to rural town squares, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together.
The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Grow our movement and join us.
A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.

IMPORTANT UPDATE

From the office of State Senator Karina Villa

As we transition into the Trump administration, many people are worried and have questions about dealing with immigration officers, or ICE. Below is important information regarding your rights and what to do if you witness or experience interactions with immigration officers.

State electeds cannot provide legal advice or assist in completing immigration-related paperwork. However, we can communicate with agencies that can assist on behalf of our constituents as well as keep you informed on your rights and services that can help.

Know Your Rights

Information Provided by Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR), The Resurrection Project and Casa Michoacan

If you believe you are witnessing ICE activity

Please call ICIRR’s 24-Hour Family Support Hotline 1-855-MY-FAMILY (1-855-435-7693) to report it

If you find yourself interacting with an ICE officer in any location including your workplace or in the community remember that you:

  • Have the right to remain SILENT when questioned or arrested by ICE
  • Should remain calm and keep your hands where the officer can see them

DO NOT

  • Discuss your immigration or citizenship status with the police, immigration agents or other officials
  • Sign anything you do not understand. You should state that wish to speak with an attorney

If an officer knocks on your door at home

  • DO NOT answer the door. Teach your children not to open the door
  • ICE officers MUST have a warrant signed by a judge to enter your home. ICE “warrants” are not signed by judges and do not allow ICE officers to enter your home.

If you are outdoors and think you see immigration officers nearby:

  • Move to a safe indoor space
  • If you are a US citizen and feel safe to do so, record the activity with your phone or write down any relevant information about what you witness. Do NOT interfere or obstruct the situation.

DO NOT

  • Post unverified information on social media
  • Interfere with the investigation or put yourself in harm’s way
