- Milwaukee leaders denounce recent ICE activity, raise questions about local power
Milwaukee leaders and activists condemned a surge in ICE arrests, citing targeting of non-criminals like Yessenia Ruano, a teacher’s aid with no criminal record, and Salah Sarsour, president of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee, who was detained and later released. Critics argue these actions disrupt families and communities without addressing violent crime.
