MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN — Today the Department of Homeland Security is expected to make their decision on whether or not to approve 287g applications from Milwaukee County, Waukesha County, and 24 other jurisdictions nationwide. The Trump Administration is attempting to expand the 287g program nationwide to deputize local law enforcement as agents in their campaign of mass deportation and terror against immigrant families.

At 4pm Tuesday, Milwaukee immigrant families will lead a rally on the south steps of the Milwaukee County courthouse urging Milwaukee County Interim Sheriff Richard Schmidt and Waukesha County Sheriff Eric Severson to drop their applications for the discriminatory program.
