Pro-Palestinian protesters block the entrance to O'Hare International Airport
CHICAGO (CBS) — Pro-Palestinian protesters blocked the entrance to O'Hare International Airport on Monday morning, preventing cars from reaching the terminals, forcing some flyers to walk to get to the airport.
Some protest groups videos shared on Instagram showing a group of people sitting with their arms tied on Interstate 190 between the Kennedy Expressway and O'Hareblocking all traffic lanes towards the airport.
Protesters held placards reading “Free Palestine” and “Stop Genocide”. The organizers said they were seeking to disrupt Boeing's operations because the company sells weapons to Israel and demand an end to the US government's arming of Israel.
“On this Tax Day, when millions are paying taxes that fund the ongoing US and Israeli bombing of Gaza, protesters are calling for dramatic action.” wrote the group Chicago Dissenters in an Instagram post. “O'Hare International Airport is one of the largest in the country, and it will not be business as usual while Palestinians suffer from American-funded bombing by Israel.”
Other videos shared by protesters showed people getting out of their cars on I-190 and walking into O'Hare with their luggage.
The Chicago Department of Aviation said people arriving at O'Hare should expect significant delays on I-190 and consider using the CTA Blue Line to get to the airport. Passengers can get off at the Rosemont or Cumberland stops.
The protest began around 8:30 a.m. and aviation officials said traffic had resumed around 9:15 a.m.
A passenger arriving at O'Hare on Monday shared video from outside the terminals, showing dozens of people waiting at the curb, with no cars or buses able to drop off or pick up waiting passengers.
