The Republican National Committee requested in a letter to the Secret Service that the police agency move protesters further away from the GOP's party convention in Milwaukee this summer.
The main stage on the convention floor at the Quicken Loans Arena in downtown Cleveland, Ohio, is prepared for the upcoming Republican National Convention Wednesday, July 13, 2016. The Republican National Committee requested in a letter to the Secret Service that the police agency move protesters further away from the GOP’s party convention in Milwaukee this summer.
“Packing demonstrators into a Park essentially boxed in by the two streets that thousands of attendees will be using to enter the Convention site will only serve to heighten — rather than prevent and diffuse — any tension,” Mr. Steggerda wrote. Mr. Steggerda stressed that the forced proximity between protesters and attendees could cause problems, and used recent pro-Palestinian protests that have escalated to arrests as an example.
