The intersection of Illinois 13 and U.S. 51 were lined with people protesting as part of the national Hands Off protest.
This protest was part of more than 1,300 that took place around the country, which, according to NPR, were organized in opposition to the Trump administration and to Elon Musk’s involvement in the government.
