Trump to send federal agents to Milwaukee after Gov. Evers, Milwaukee officials ask him not to
Trump to send federal agents to Milwaukee after Gov. Evers and some Milwaukee officials ask him not tohttps://www.jsonline.com/story/news/crime/2020/07/23/president-trump-send-federal-agents-officers-milwaukee/5496276002/
Milwaukee is one of five cities that will see a surge in federal resources to address violent crime in coming weeks, under new orders from President Donald Trump.
The influx of federal officers will coincide with Milwaukee hosting a scaled-back, mostly virtual Democratic National Convention and ongoing protests against police brutality and racism.
The effort is part of the U.S. Department of Justice's Operation Legend, which recently brought more than 200 federal officers into Kansas City after a 4-year-old boy was shot and killed.
The operation will expand into Chicago and Albuquerque, New Mexico, next and then continue into Cleveland, Detroit and Milwaukee over the next three weeks, Trump said Wednesday.
