Law enforcement authorities in Milwaukee have unveiled a security plan for the upcoming Republican National Convention, allowing people to carry guns within certain areas near the convention site. The plan includes two circular perimeters around the convention arena, with only convention attendees permitted within the inner perimeter. Pedestrians will be able to move freely between the perimeters without screening, while vehicles will need to pass through checkpoints.
Protesters will be given two stages for demonstrations, one within sight of the convention arena. More than 100 organizations have applied to demonstrate at the convention, with a coalition including local and national groups planning a protest parade on the first day of the event.
