CLEVELAND, Ohio-- The FOX 8 I-Team has learned of a series of new developments concerning protesters for the upcoming Republican National Convention: where some could camp, where some now could march, and a new way police are trying to block any terrorists.

Last month, the I-Team revealed the city of Cleveland had talked about allowing protesters to camp at Kirtland Park, and now, a leading activist is posting on social media that he’s been told by a government official protesters will, in fact, be able to camp there.

Meantime, the I-Team has learned crews have placed seals on many manholes. This will help police know if someone tries to open a manhole to place a bomb or tamper with underground cables or pipes. Police are also monitoring the bases of streetlamp posts. These kind of things have been done in other major cities before in places such as those which hosted the Pope.

Volunteers also spent the day protecting the Cleveland Police Memorial. They put tarps on the monument along with fencing and other barricades around it. They did this because of the recent murders of police in Dallas and the threat of potential unrest here during the Convention.

Also Monday, leaders of the Coalition to Stop Trump had an appeal hearing with the city safety director after the group’s application for a protest permit had been denied. This group is not using the route designated by the city for protest marches.

The group says it now has worked out a deal with the city to hold a rally and march focused on Mall A and Public Square. Tom Burke says he’s “very pleased. It’s a great park.” He expects a large turnout at midday Monday.

As for the protesters looking to camp, activist John Penley says he received a voicemail message from a government official saying Kirtland Park would be available. However, Penley says his follow-up calls have not been returned. His main concern is whether or not protesters for and against Donald Trump would be camping in the same park. Penley is concerned about violence if that happens. He said, “If they do that, I’ll tell people not to go there, and I won’t go myself.” Penley says he’s bringing buses with kitchens, and he expects protesters to find a place to camp no matter what. He added, “We may do a mobile occupation where we move around every day.”
