The No Kings Day protest Oct. 18. was held in Chicago amidst increased Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) presence in Chicago, Rogers Park and Edgewater due to Operation Midway Blitz, orchestrated by the Trump Administration.

What role does social media and student networks play in spreading information and organizing responses to ICE activity and protests like No Kings Day? What was the universities response to both of these events?
On this week’s episode of The Byline, a joint project between The Phoenix and WLUW 88.7, host and engagement editor Dana Prodoehl is joined by Phoenix Editor-in-Chief Lilli Malone and deputy news editor Ava Witherite to discuss these questions and more.
