Wilmette Protest: Demonstrators Brave Freezing Cold to Oppose Pres. Donald Trump

WILMETTE, IL — Roughly 100 members of North Shore communities, including several New Trier High School students, took to the streets in freezing temperatures last weekend to protest President Donald Trump and his immigration policies.

"These are extraordinary times, and everyone has the responsibility to stand up and tell our president that he has the responsibility to obey the Constitution," Dave Lundy of Wilmette told Pioneer Press.

Attendees at the Feb. 4 rally included Illinois 9th Sen. Daniel Biss (D, Evanston), who carried a sign reading, "No President is above the law."

The rally lasted about 90 minutes at the intersection of Green Bay Road and Lake Avenue, with few, if any, signs of criticism of the rally from passing motorists, Pioneer Press reported.
