Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office will stop cooperating with ICE agents: 'It’s the right thing to do'

Since former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, who was a strong supporter of President Donald Trump, was replaced by Sheriff Earnell Lucas, the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office has undergone some changes.

“It’s not politics. It’s the right thing to do,” Lucas said. “We don’t want to place a chilling effect on any one community of not wanting to communicate with law enforcement.” Commenting on the announcement, ICE representatives said they will “continue to conduct at-large arrests in local neighborhoods and at work sites, which will inevitably result in additional collateral arrests,” according to the Los Angeles Times.

Christine Neumann-Ortiz, executive director of Voces de la Frontera, an immigrant rights group in Milwaukee, said the immigrant community in the city has mobilized to stop collaboration with ICE in recent years and praised Lucas for his decision.

And this is when Milwaukee immediately gets less safe in an instant. 👍

Hell yeah!
