CHICAGO—Protests over the Biden–Harris administration’s Israel policy marked the first day of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago on Aug. 19.

A significant moment was the breach of fencing at Park 578, a nondescript city park in a residential neighborhood. It was about as close as protesters got to the United Center, the site of the main speeches throughout the evening, about two blocks away.
