...Pritzker discusses Democratic National Convention security questions after protests near O'Hare

Quotes from Pritzker:

"When asked for his response to the demonstration, Pritzker said people should be able to express their First Amendment Rights, but they should let others move about their day.

"'I do not think that they should be disruptive of the traffic, of people trying to get from one place or to another,' he said.

"The protest prompted some to wonder about what safety measures would be taken at August's Democratic National Convention. Pritzker, speaking to reporters, said he doesn't think anyone would be surprised that protests are planned during the four-day convention.

"'...I don’t think that anybody’s unfamiliar of the protests that have occurred because of the Israel-Hamas war," the governor said. "But I do think that again, we have to make sure that at all times that people are able to get where they want to go while at the same time respecting the people who were protesting.'"
