Ultimately, the protesters broke through the perimeter, and according to Kennedy, there was only one fence separating them from the United Center where the convention is being held:
The police arrived in riot gear and pushed protesters and press out of the street and behind the perimeter:
Police cleared the street of protesters and attempted to reinstall the Secret Service barrier:
Protesters began to carry away the barriers they had torn down, apparently to prevent police from putting them back up:
Chicago Police marched to a park where a crowd of Antifa and anti-Israel protestors were still gathered following their attempted entry into the Secret Service perimeter:
Later Monday evening, the Chicago Police Department issued a statement saying that law enforcement immediately contained the situation and that while the outer perimeter fence was breached, the inner perimeter was not and that there was never a threat to official protectees. The department did not indicate if any arrests were made.
President Joe Biden is slated to speak at the convention Monday night.
This is a breaking story and will be updated.
