Some groups have taken the City of Chicago to federal court after they were denied a permit to organize.
CHICAGO – The Democratic National Convention is less than two months away and some pro-Palestinian and other groups are still fighting for a designated area to demonstrate close to the United Center. There was a deal in the work between some protest groups and the city.'The city has made another proposal, a different proposal that we see as positive,' said attorney Chris Williams, representing the groups.
Abudayyeh said they'll protest whether they are granted a permit or not, wherever they want.'The attendees will be from all age groups, all races,' said Abudayyeh.Meanwhile, officials with the Republican Convention in Milwaukee, set to be held July 15-July 18, told CBS 2 they have not denied a single application, allowing protesters to be at two different locations right next to the hard security perimeter.
