Earlier today, members of Black Bloc were arrested for plotting to attack police stations, Mayor Emanuel’s home and President Obama’s campaign headquarters.

Twitchy will monitor the situation and update accordingly.

Update: People on the scene report police moving in.

Riot cops have moved onto the sidewalk. Getting out of here.
