Several people were arrested in the early evening after a few dozen protesters broke away from the march and pulled down sections of the first ring of security fencing surrounding the United Center, where President Joe Biden was scheduled to speak Monday night. Police later moved to clear a park near the convention site of protesters.
"Law enforcement personnel were immediately on-scene and contained the situation," convention organizers said in a statement. "At no point was the inner perimeter breached, and there was no threat to any protectees."
