In Chicago, as Polish Constitution Day celebrations unfolded, numerous incidents of unruly behavior and law enforcement challenges were reported. The Chicago Police Department (CPD) was on high alert with reports of drag racing, large gatherings, and disruptive activities across various locations including Devon, Nagle, and the Brickyard area in the 025th and 016th Districts. Specific incidents included a group of motorcycles running red lights, Polish drag racers being dispersed by Melrose Park PD, and a caravan causing disturbances. The CPD deployed tow trucks and had cars stationed at strategic locations like White Castle to manage the situation.
