Milwaukee Police Chief Alfonso Morales has commented on reports federal agents will be coming to Milwaukee to support efforts to handle civil unrest since the death of George Floyd.
Morales says his department has “respectfully declined” having agents in the city for this purpose.
He adds the department will continue a partnership with agents, originally called Operation Relentless Pursuit and changed to Operation Legend that began in May of 2020, to address violent crime, drug trafficking and illegal use of firearms.
