1,000 Protesters Breach Security at DNC in Chicago; At Least 4 Arrested
Aug 19, 2024, 10:20 PM
Protesters in Chicago breached security barriers outside the United Center, where the Democratic National Convention is being held. The breach occurred on the first day of the convention, as demonstrators attempted to voice their opposition to the war in Gaza. Riot police and the Secret Service were dispatched to the scene to manage the situation. At least 4 arrests were made as law enforcement worked to control the crowd and restore order. Approximately 1,000 protesters had gathered, leading to the initial breach of the first security fence and subsequent attempts to dismantle a second barrier, prompting a large police presence to prevent further escalation.
