CHICAGO (AP) — Pro-Palestinian demonstrators blocked a freeway leading to three Chicago O'Hare International Airport terminals Monday morning, temporarily stopping vehicle traffic into one of the nation's busiest airports and causing headaches for travelers.
Protesters linked arms and blocked lanes of Interstate 190 around 7 a.m., a demonstration they said was part of a global “economic blockade to free Palestine,” according to Rifqa Falaneh, one of the organizers. Traffic in the San Francisco Bay Area was also snarled for hours Monday morning as pro-Palestinian demonstrators shut down both directions of the Golden Gate Bridge and stalled a 17-mile (27-kilometer) stretch of Interstate 880 in Oakland.
On the Golden Gate Bridge in California, a small number of demonstrators stood by, as did police. Some protesters held a black banner that read “Stop the world for Gaza.” The iconic bridge was closed off to all auto traffic, bicyclists and pedestrians.
In Chicago, dozens of protesters were arrested, according to Falaneh. Chicago police said Monday that “multiple people” were taken into custody after a protest where people obstructed traffic but did not have a detailed count.
Protesters say they chose the location, in part, because O’Hare is one of the largest airports. Among other things, they’ve called for an immediate ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas.

They need to be shipped to a country that supports their views.
Headaches? Imagine if it were MAGA.
If they love Gaza so much, revoke their passports and send them there.
Who pays these people?
Introduce them to CPD’s 12 guage riot shotguns. Three quick rounds of buckshot will clear them out. No mercy necessary.
The same people who paid AntiFa and BLM
The Tiananmen Square guy stood in front of a tank. But not for long.
They could be delaying transport of life-saving medicines, organs, or doctors. Charge them all with felonies.
Since airports are blocked by other protests they may have to take the quick route to get off the plane.

Good point.
One BLM protest had the ambulance team get out and plead with the ones blocking the road to let them take a boy to a hospital where he required immediate treatment. They refused and locked arms.
this is what happens to us when we let our politicians import thousands and thousands of Muslim enemies of America, the West, and Christian moral values
and I do NOT believe it for a second that this couldn’t be stopped. except there are reasons why Biden and Company have opened our borders and it is not all about getting “cheap Mexican labor”
if THAT were what it is about, it could have been done very easily under law via legal immigration plus, for those people interested, temporary work permits
What else is happening with the open border policy, then?
Millions of enemies of America from all around the world, but especially from Communist China and the several Moslem Krapistans, are flooding in here
These kinds would have been stopped, or at least stoppable, with normal legal immigration background checks and interviews
and this is why Biden has eliminated normal legal immigration background checks and interviews
These are American, mainly, antifa , blm , occupy etc… types.
Communists.
Pro-Palestine = Anti-American = anarchists
I wouldn’t be all that shaken by someone opening fire on
them. I don’t advise it, but this is utter nonsense. I’m
sure they all get a free pass too.
we really really need to put a stop to the SorozNazi organizing and funding machine
and clean up the campuses
How can they tell the diff?
This interstate 94 as well as I-90 are a true nightmare.
I see they blocked Golden Gate Bridge too.
Coordinated nationwide.
yes indeed.
same signage, banners, tactics, deployments, rhetoric...it is all coordinated
perhaps others are also involved but this has all the signs of another SorozNazi front group operation
Run them over!
