Pastor Michael Pfleger of Saint Sabina’s Church in Chicago has once again voiced strong criticism of President Donald Trump and his administration, this time by displaying an American flag upside-down outside his church.
The distress signal, traditionally used to indicate extreme danger or crisis, was meant to draw attention to what Pfleger sees as harmful policy decisions under Trump’s leadership.

Pfleger outlined several reasons for his protest, citing concerns over policies affecting social justice, immigration, healthcare and racial equality. He accused the administration of fostering division and rolling back progress on key issues impacting marginalized communities.
The outspoken priest has a long history of activism and has frequently used his platform to address issues of inequality and systemic injustice. His protest comes amid ongoing national debates over policy direction and the broader impact of Trump’s influence on American society.
Earlier that month, the pastor initiated a nationwide boycott of Target stores after the company embraced Trump’s directive to end Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs. He condemned Target for being among the first to comply with the cancellation of DEI initiatives, viewing it as a step backward for civil rights.
Pfleger’s activism against Trump’s policies has been consistent throughout the years. In 2018, he organized a protest that led to the shutdown of the Dan Ryan Expressway, demanding common-sense gun laws, increased community resources, better educational opportunities and economic development.
This demonstration was a direct response to what he viewed as inadequate action from political leaders, including then-Governor Bruce Rauner, and aligned with his broader critique of the Trump administration’s stance on social issues.
