The head of the U.S. Secret Service has announced that security plans for the upcoming Republican National Convention in Milwaukee are still being finalized. The event, scheduled for next month, is expected to draw around 30,000 visitors as former President Donald Trump is set to become the Republican party's official presidential nominee. Anticipating large-scale demonstrations, concerns have been raised regarding the proximity of protesters to the convention site at the downtown Fiserv Forum.
Law enforcement agencies, in collaboration with businesses, have been working on safety plans for over a year. A secure zone around the convention site is being established, with further details to be disclosed in the coming weeks. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle assured that preparations are in place to address potential demonstrations during the event.
