🚨 The Trump administration is threatening to send federal agents to Milwaukee.
@GovEvers responds: "This type of unilateral intervention has not been requested by either the City of Milwaukee or the State and is not welcome in Wisconsin." Here's his full letter.

Wisconsin's Attorney General @JoshKaulWI issued this thunderous statement re Trump sending federal troops to Wisconsin: "we have witnessed the President employing fascist tactics... I will be speaking out against their presence here, and I will take any appropriate legal action."
Wisconsin Lieutenant Governor @LGMandelaBarnes re Trump sending agents to Milwaukee: "They're not invited, nor are they welcome."

Trump’s agents are slated to arrive in Milwaukee, uninvited, right around the time of the Democratic National Convention.
The city and state have been planning security for a year. Trump’s incursion is not part of the plan. It makes us less safe.

Trump apparently wants to turn major Democratic cities across the Midwest—including Milwaukee, during the Democratic National Convention—into extensions of his Lafayette Park photo op.

We can see the results in Portland. When Trump sends in agents, division and unrest grows. It’s a spectacle of repression and violence. It has no place in Wisconsin. It has no place in a democracy.
This could very well continue through November.
“The government says that more than $61 million will be spent to hire new police officers and federal agents who will be permanently reassigned to those cities.”

Everything Trump does is driven by one consideration: himself. This is a political stunt, intended to divide us—to make him look tough. He thinks if he tears us in two, he’ll have the bigger half. But it's backfiring.
Americans are rejecting what Trump is trying to do.

If you don’t want the whole country to look like Portland has over the last few nights, help us stop Trump from winning a second term. We can use your hours and your dollars.
