Statement From Mayor Cavalier Johnson

“It’s beyond time for federal agents to halt their aggressive actions in Minneapolis. The right of protesters to raise their voices against government action is enshrined in the First Amendment of our constitution. What ICE is doing on the streets of Minnesota would summon Americans anywhere to have grievances if it happened in their communities. Killing a protester who was on his knees rather than deescalating the situation is a fundamental affront to American values. Americans everywhere need to WAKE UP to what’s happening to our country.” -Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson
