Governor Tony Evers is urging President Donald Trump to reconsider his visit to Kenosha on Tuesday.
The President plans to meet with law enforcement and survey the damage from the recent civil unrest following the police shooting of Jacob Blake. Evers sent a letter to Trump that reads in part, ” I am concerned your presence will only hinder our healing. I am concerned your presence will only delay our work to overcome division and move forward together.”
Police say 175 arrests have been made in connection with protests over the police shooting of Jacob Blake. The charges include curfew violations, carrying concealed weapons, burglary, and possession of a controlled substance. Police say 102 of those arrests are people who reside in cities outside of Kenosha.
