Mixed Reaction to Milwaukee Resolution to Protect Undocumented Immigrants

The group Voces de last Frontera demonstrated support for the immigrant proposal, before the county hearing

On Wednesday, the day President Trump signed two executive orders cracking-down on illegal immigration, a Milwaukee County Board committee listened to what people here had to say about a related item here. A proposed resolution states the county’s commitment to protect all residents and keep families together despite their legal status. The committee deadlocked on the issue, meaning it will go to the full board, with no recommendation.

WUWM’s Jordyn Noennig collected some of the comments the over-flow crowd offered. First, the sponsor of the resolution, Supervisor Marina Dimitrijevic.

Later, several supervisors share their thoughts about the idea.
