Milwaukee

Milwaukee is currently in the news for several reasons. First, a city council member is calling for an investigation into the immigration practices of Uline, an office supply company owned by major Republican donors. This follows an investigation into their policies. Second, Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks is a name to watch as the NBA trade deadline approaches. Third, a 13-year quest for justice concluded in a Milwaukee court with a plea deal for two men involved in the 2012 killing of a Black teenager who attempted to shoplift from a convenience store. The father of the victim persistently sought accountability. Finally, a shipwreck hunter discovered the wreck of the Lac La Belle passenger steamer in Lake Michigan, over 150 years after it sank. These events highlight Milwaukee's involvement in political, sports, legal, and historical news.
