The envelope looked like any other â slightly wrinkled, a handwritten address scrawled across the front.
But Jared Cain said he felt violated after looking inside. He saw a ticket for breaking the curfew Milwaukee adopted to regulate protests after a May 25 murder in Minneapolis seen around the world: When police officer Derek Chauvin knelt for more than 9 minutes on the neck of George Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man.
Cain did not interact with Milwaukee police during local protests the night of May 31 and early morning June 1, but police cited a video he streamed on Facebook as proof that he was out past 9 p.m. The listed penalty: $691, nearly the median monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Milwaukee.

Barbara felt ecstatic in January when a Wisconsin Department of Health Services letter confirmed that she and her parents were eligible for COVID-19 vaccinations.
The 28-year-old education student lives with her parents in Milwaukee. All three share caretaking duties for Barbaraâs young child, who is on the autism spectrum. That unpaid work qualifies them as frontline health care personnel in Wisconsinâs vaccine rollout.
Wisconsin Watch is withholding Barbaraâs last name to avoid repercussions for her parents, who are living in the country without legal authorization. The family arrived in Wisconsin from Mexico about two decades ago. Barbara is currently protected from deportation under the federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy, which grants some rights to eligible immigrants who came to the United States as children.

The federal government in early 2021 sent nearly $387 million in emergency rental aid to Wisconsin a portion of $25 billion Congress earmarked nationwide to stave off evictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Gov. Tony Evers funnelled most of the state’s federal aid into the Wisconsin Emergency Rental Assistance program. These rental properties are seen in downtown Madison, Wis., on March 25, 2020.
