In Wisconsin, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke resigned Thursday as multiple news outlets reported he will take a job with the Trump administration. It’s not clear what role Clarke will play, but Politico reported he’s likely to take a White House appointment that does not require Senate approval. Sheriff Clarke is a staunch supporter of Donald Trump who has compared the Black Lives Matter movement to the Ku Klux Klan. Clarke and his employees face multiple lawsuits alleging they have abused and neglected prisoners at the Milwaukee County Jail, in cases that have led to the death of an infant as well as 38-year-old Terrill Thomas, who died of dehydration after being denied access to water for a week.
