Several people have been arrested in Chicago after clashes with police during a protest that began near the Israeli consulate and spread to nearby streets.
Context
The protesters called on the United States to stop supporting Israel. Dozens of people near the Israeli consulate in Chicago demanded an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
The Chicago Police Department has stepped up security in the area, deploying a large number of baton-wielding officers and helmeted officers to quell the unrest.
Tensions quickly escalated, but the police arrested and pushed back the protesters, confiscating their placards and flags.
Thirteen people were also reportedly arrested during Monday's protests, most of them related to a “brief breach” of the security fence “within sight and sound of the United Center.
Recall
The Democratic convention has begun in Chicago, where Harris and Walls will accept the nomination for the election. Harris unexpectedly addressed the delegates, breaking with tradition and calling for unity.
