CHICAGO — Justice Department officers met and accompanied a pro-Gaza protest along its permitted route north of the Democratic National Convention on Thursday night.

Earlier this week, some participants in the March on the DNC coalition broke from the permitted parade route approved by the city and broke through the first layer of security fencing just north of the United Center, roughly 800 feet from where President Joe Biden was slated to deliver the keynote address on the opening night of the convention.
