RNC urges police to extend protestor restrictions around Milwaukee convention venue

Summary by Ground News
The Republican National Committee (RNC) has reportedly sent a letter to the Secret Service asking them to keep protesters further away from the Milwaukee convention venue in July. The three-page letter, reported first by The New York Times, objected to a plan that had a specific area where protesters would be able to demonstrate. Todd R. Steggerda, the letter’s author and counsel to the RNC, said people who are attending the convention would have to pass by the protesters on their way into Fiserv Forum, where the event is being held. The Hill has reached out to the RNC for a copy of the letter, but the Times reported that Steggerda referenced the ongoing pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses. He said that “forced proximity” between the groups that have “differing ideologies” will increase the risk of verbal or physical altercations.
