Police respond to an anti-police protest outside the president's mansion with ~75 riot officers. Gear included less-than-lethal munitions are at least two K-9 units. Student protestors were armed with umbrellas and megaphones and were not destroying any property.

The NIPAS is a police coalition among suburban Chicago municipalities that were present with local police as well. The abolitionist group "NU Community Not Cops" has demanded defunding of the university's private police force. The university has expressed displeasure with NIPAS's previous responses but has not made any commitment to defunding their private police force. NIPAS made no attacks this night.
