Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley’s proposed budget does not include funding for Flock surveillance cameras. Under this proposal, the $140,000 currently allocated to Flock would be redirected to Legal Aid Society's Right to Counsel program.

County supervisors also passed a resolution last week removing Flock cameras from park property.

We applaud these steps toward reining Flock's warrantless surveillance of our communities.

County Executive also proposes a property tax increase and endorses a paid-parking program along the lakefront.

At least 57 people have died in immigration detention since the start of the second term, more than double the number of deaths recorded from the previous four years combined.

As egregious as the current mortality rate is, it still does not include an accurate death toll resulting from the neglect in ICE detention centers.

Death rate could be higher if it includes hidden deaths of people released from detention that ICE is reporting under Trump administration.

All automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras will be removed from county parks. These cameras effectively created a government-accessible record of who came to a particular park on a particular day.

This is another win for the movement against constant warrantless surveillance of our communities.
