Charges are pending against two others. The ages of those charged range from 20 to 37.
A WGN source adds that 10 Chicago Transit Authority buses and 13 police squad cars were damaged with spray paint during the demonstrations.
Dozens of people first gathered on East Adams Street outside an immigration court. Many of those protesters then joined with others at Federal Plaza later in the day. The crowd then snaked throughout downtown streets, reaching as far as DuSable Lake Shore Drive.
Authorities said a 66-year-old woman suffered a broken arm after she was struck by a driver at around 6:30 p.m., though police have not explicitly confirmed that the crash unfolded during the protest.
