Photos: More than 54,000 runners stepped off for the 26.2-mile Chicago Marathon that weaved through 29 neighborhoods, where spectators packed sidewalks, screamed, cheered, danced, blew air horns, displayed clever signs, and handed out snacks and Gatorade.

Runners and their cheerleaders turn out for Chicago Marathon: ‘This is our Super Bowl'

Countering weeks of intense immigration enforcement, mass protests and negative national headlines about Chicago, runners and spectators told the Sun-Times they reveled in the chance to show off what Chicago is really like.

Benny Johnson is just as stupid......

According to local reporting there were approximately 15 protesters who were detained. I don't agree with the curfew but I do not live in Broadview. I am in Chicago. Look up the peaceful protest led by clergy yesterday and see how ISP was working with the priests.

They voted for Trump also because they do not approve of undocumented migrants. They feel if they are documented other should be also. I do not agree with their position because it lacks empathy and understanding

Do you know how big Broadview is? Less than 8000 people. They have a small force and request ISP to assist
