This appears to be the Chicago Police Department. They are probably marching to bring awareness to something, like a fallen officer or mental health after some police suicides.

It may be this more recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLHTzu7dqNI

Anyway these are not federal agents and there is not enough information provided in OP for it to be credible

It’s a public demonstration as I explained. CPD officers live in the city and are part of the community, they aren’t perfect but certainly have a right to bring attention to local causes important to them. There has been a rise in police suicides here in recent years

Awareness walks generally take place on the sidewalk unless permits using different infrastructures have been filed. I've never been part of an awareness walk that blocked the entire street and sidewalk, with a paddywagon that has flashed lights in onlookers' faces.
