On Saturday, millions across the nation participated in peaceful demonstrations during the anti-Trump “No Kings” protests. However, several viral social media clips have managed to steal the spotlight from the day’s larger message.

One such clip from Chicago has garnered significant attention. It features a woman identified by social media users as a K-8 STEM teacher working at Nathan Hale Elementary School within the Chicago Public School system. The video appears to show her mocking the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

In the footage, the woman is seen wearing a gray shirt and holding a Mexican flag as she stands at the forefront of a protest line. As a truck displaying a pro-Kirk sign drives by, she mimics pulling a trigger by placing her pointer and middle finger to her neck, while shouting, “Bang, bang.”

This incident took place during Chicago’s “No Kings” protest on October 18, 2025, and the controversial moment was photographed by Nick Cook.

The video has sparked calls for the teacher’s dismissal, with many conservatives voicing their outrage online.

Andrew Kolvet from Turning Point USA expressed his concern on X, stating, “The most vile reactions to Charlie’s murder have almost all been public school teachers and professors. Tells you a lot about what America’s children are facing and why TPUSA is more important than ever.”

Chicago Public Schools confirmed for Fox News Digital on Monday that it is aware that an employee was filmed at a protest in Chicago and is the subject of social media posts. 

“Chicago Public Schools (CPS) remains committed to creating and maintaining a welcoming, safe, and inclusive teaching and learning environment, free from harassment, bias, or harm of any kind,” CPS said in a statement. 

“While CPS does not comment on specific personnel matters, the District follows a consistent process when allegations of misconduct are reported. Employees found to have violated Board policy are subject to disciplinary action.”

Elsewhere in Chicago, a man was captured on video yelling into a bullhorn that ICE agents should be killed. 

“You gotta grab a gun, we gotta turn around the guns on this fascist system. These ICE agents gotta get shot and wiped out,” the man said in a video posted to X. “The same machinery that’s on full display right there has to get wiped out.”

The Chicago Police Department did not return a request for comment.

Outside the ICE facility in the Chicago suburb of Broadview, Illinois, where protesters have been rallying, sometimes violently, for more than a month, a man was captured on video encouraging a child to beat an effigy of President Donald Trump. 

“Take a turn, buddy, take a swing!” a man in a yellow shirt holding a Trump piñata said while handing a masked child a blunt force object. 

The child swung wildly at the piñata, clubbing it several times and stabbing it several times more. 

“Yeah! Get his body! Get his body!” the man in the yellow shirt yelled. 

When a woman dressed in a Statue of Liberty costume pointed out to the crowd and the man in the yellow shirt that there were “right-wingers” among them, the man was defiant. 

“Oh yeah! Good!” the man said. “Make me famous, motherf—–s!” 

That video was posted to X by Frontlines Turning Point USA.

In a fourth video, a man in a shirt that says “86 47,” a phrase made popular when former FBI director James Comey posted it on social media, is asked to explain the meaning of the numbers. 

Eighty-six is popular slang for “kill,” and is often used in restaurants when a menu item is sold out. Trump is the 47th president of the United States. 

“Kill the son of a b—-!” the man exclaimed when asked about the slogan. 

“Kill who?” the person filming asked. 

“The 47th president!” the man replies. 

On Monday, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed to Fox News Digital that the man, whose identity has not been confirmed, is under investigation.

In one photo, two women posed together for a photo. One woman’s shirt said, “Make Assassinations Great Again.”

In the second photo, a sign in front of a table said: “Charlie Kirk had it coming. Change my mind.” A table cover behind the sign said “Denver Communists,” and several people behind the table posed for the photograph.
