CHICAGO — Pro-Palestine protesters breached a security perimeter fence at a Democratic National Committee (DNC) event on Monday, calling for an end to U.S. military support for Israel and an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
The fence, erected to prevent unauthorized individuals from entering the area, was overrun by demonstrators who demanded that top Democratic leaders stop sending weapons to Israel. The protesters voiced their opposition to the ongoing conflict in Gaza and called for immediate action to halt the violence.
“DNC Security perimeter fence has been completely stormed and overrun by pro-Hamas protestors,” reported @camhigby on X, a social media platform.
Authorities have not yet provided an official statement on the breach or the current status of the protest. It remains unclear if any arrests were made or if there were any injuries during the incident. The situation is ongoing as law enforcement works to restore order.
