RNC Presses Secret Service to Relocate Protest Zone at Milwaukee Convention

Republican officials argue current plans pose safety risks for attendees and demand immediate action to expand the security perimeter.

GOP leaders sent a letter to Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle urging her to move the protest zone farther from the convention site.
The proposed protest zone, Pere Marquette Park, is considered too close to the convention venue, raising concerns about potential confrontations.
Republicans suggest relocating the protest area to Zeidler Union Square or Red Arrow Park, which are farther from the convention center.
Local Milwaukee officials and the Secret Service have yet to finalize the security perimeter plans, leaving the decision unresolved.
The RNC cites recent security incidents and threats as justification for their demands to enhance safety measures.
