Interesting: the DA is a Democrat who said he will not seek re-election two weeks ago: https://www.tmj4.com/news/local-news/milwaukee-county-district-attorney-john-chisholm-will-not-seek-reelection

I wonder if an ADA is looking to pick up some filthy campaign lucre by prosecuting homeless-helpers.

That's the Milwaukee DA. The story leads with Milwaukee but the Ohio pastor being cited was actually in Ohio, specifically Williams County. The DA there is, in fact, a Republican. Though not necessarily a "RepubliQan" as stated.

Why would a Milwaukee county DA be enforcing zoning laws in Bryan, Ohio?

A fair point - the Milwaukee journal sentinel article talks about people freezing in Milwaukee and then jumps to Ohio. I didn’t catch the jump and, honestly it’s a little weird. Still, my bad. Thank you all for pointing it out.
