Chicago officials and Democratic National Convention (DNC) protesters are negotiating a compromise over protest locations near the United Center. A federal lawsuit alleges that the city is violating First Amendment rights by blocking the protesters' plans to march within 'sight and sound' of the United Center. City attorneys, including those from Mayor Brandon Johnson’s administration, are working to propose a 'United Center-adjacent route' to settle the lawsuit. A federal judge was informed that the Johnson administration is involved in these negotiations. Chicago police and a pro-Palestinian group are also involved in seeking a compromise. The city is poised to offer a route closer to the United Center, indicating a potential deal to resolve the dispute.
