Anti-Israel protesters are swarming outside the Democratic National Convention in Chicago as police gear up for a week of unrest in the city. The four-day convention kicks off Monday at the United Center near the West Side, where as many as 100,000 anti-Israel demonstrators are expected to protest throughout the week. At least seven large demonstrations took place on the eve of the convention on issues from abortion to voicing their objection to U.S.
Gov. JB Pritzker, D-Ill., said that around 150 Illinois National Guard members are currently on 'standby' for the convention, Fox 32 reported. ‘WALLS FOR WALL, BUT NOT FOR THEE’: DEMOCRATS CALLED OUT FOR HYPOCRISY ON SECURITY MEASURES AT DNC Businesses also boarded up their doors ahead of the anticipated protests.
