Protestors Trespassing On Property

Card image cap

Location: lake county Illinois

For the last 3 weeks I've had protestors for a labor dispute against the city's parks department. I told them to leave and when they refused I called the cops. The cops from the beginning seemed to show a bias towards them and took no action. I produced a plat of survey from September 2021 and the police still didn't act. Every time they would trespass I would call and eventually the police told me the lake county state's attorney told them that the protestors are allowed on my property.

The plat of survey shows the property line going to the curb with no easements. I have no ties to the parks department. Since the police department informed me that no action would be taken the protest has become worse. They're using inflatables with air pumps I can hear inside of my house, yelling, clapping, recording me and my family while we're trying to maintain our property (work on the deck, refill bird feeders, clean gutters, tend the garden ect). I've reached out to some government officials and offices and did a foia request for the police reports and any official communications regarding my property.

Is there something I'm overlooking that would allow them to just do whatever they want on my property? What can I do to make it stop? What about making sure it won't happen again (to me or someone else)?
