Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Wednesday, hundreds of immigrants, allies and workers marched from the Southside of Milwaukee (S. 5th and W. Washington Streets) to Milwaukee Turners parking lot (1034 Vel R. Phillips Ave.) across the street from FISERV FORUM, where the Trump MAGA (Make Amerikkka Great Again) Cult (RNC 2024) National Convention will be held on July 15-18, 2024.
Christine Neumann-Ortiz, the founder and Executive Director of Voces de la Frontera (VDLF) at an outdoor rally held at the Milwaukee Turners parking lot stated that former U.S. President Donald J. Trump (R) who is in Wisconsin on Wednesday, was not welcome in Wisconsin, and that he was a true threat to democracy, attributed to a failed coup by his racist White supremacists followers and corrupt politicians who have pushed for massive military style forced deportations and separation of families.
In 2020, the Wisconsin Latino vote was instrumental in defeating Trump and electing Joe Biden (D) as U.S. President, according to Neumann-Ortiz.
Trump was scheduled to hold a political rally at the Waukesha County Expo Center, according to the Trump campaign.
This year, VDLF and its allies called for President Biden through an executive order to provide work permits for the undocumented taxpaying workers in the nation, to also end 287G law enforcement and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement partnership, for the Wisconsin State legislature to allow undocumented workers to apply for State driver licenses and to end the war in the GAZA.
Multiple speakers at the May Day 2024 rally confirmed that they are planning to stage major protests during the 3-day Trump MAGA Cult (RNC 2024) National Convention at the FISERV FORUM in July 2024.
