Police break up protest outside Israeli consulate in Chicago
Behind Enemy Lines, a pro-Palestinian group, gathered early evening Tuesday in front of the Consulate of Israel in downtown Chicago.
Initially there was a small group of about 25 people, but the numbers grew within an hour -- enough for police in riot gear to hold a formation to prevent the group from moving farther down the block.
Behind the police line stood a pro-Israel group of about 100 demonstrators holding flags. Both groups were aware of the other and, at one point, each pressed against the police line from both sides.
No clashes took place.
Around 8 p.m. local time, the Israel group started dispersing.
At least five people were seen being taken into custody. The police didn't initially report any arrests.
Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling was seen standing among the officers.

California delivers delegates to send Harris over the top in ceremonial roll call
California, Harris' home state, delivered the delegates to send Harris over the top during the ceremonial roll call.
Gov. Gavin Newsom announced that the state is casting its 482 votes for Harris, whom he called a "bright star" whose star has gotten even brighter as she served as the state's attorney general, a U.S. senator and now as vice president.
"Kamala Harris has always done the right thing, a champion for voting rights, civil rights, LGBTQ rights," Newsom said. "It's time for us to do the right thing -- and that is to elect Kamala Harris as the next president of the United States of America."
Harris is already officially the nominee after the DNC held a virtual roll call earlier this month. Still, the symbolism, and the relationship between Newsom and Harris, is significant.
Democrats showing diverse coalition through roll call
Through the ceremonial roll call, showcasing delegates from all corners of the U.S., the Democratic party is "making it clear they are the party that represents the country," White House correspondent MaryAlice Parks told ABC News Live Prime anchor Linsey Davis.
"They are trying to make it clear that they are building a multi-generational, multi-racial coalition," she said.
