The group of demonstrators, calling for a cease-fire and an end to the war in Gaza, initially gathered near U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin's home. The U.S. Palestinian Community Network said they and the Coalition for Justice in Palestine rallied in front of Durbin's home because of his support for Israel.
The group was reported to be near West Addison Street in Lakeview before moving south, causing rolling closures.

Chicago police said the drive was fully reopened by 5:15 p.m.
It appears police took people into custody. ABC7 has reached out to police to find out if anyone is facing charges, but did not immediately hear back.
