Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On March 5, 2025, Fernando Bustos, 41, was taken into custody by police and posted a $750 cash bail bond, pending a preliminary hearing on March 13 and a Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office booking process, according to Milwaukee County court records.

On March 3, Bustos was charged with one felony count for invading privacy by use of surveillance device, he had an open felony warrant, but has since been rescinded.

If convicted, Bustos is facing up to 3 years and 6 months in prison and up to $10,000 in fines, or both.

School administrators became aware of Bustos illegal acts after hundreds of 10-second videos were discovered in a SD card in his office at the school, which was reviewed by staff. The Bustos videos were recorded from May 21, 2024 to February 1, 2025.

Bustos was the school's security coordinator and was collecting his belongings after getting fired for performance issues. He had left a camera with a SD card in his office, according to the administration.

On February 19, the school notified police about Bustos unauthorized video surveillance of female students in their locker room, which one girl was video recorded semi nude.

When police reviewed the videos, it showed Bustos installing a camera in the girl's locker room in October 2024, which is used by female students from 9th to 12th grade, according to the criminal complaint.

According to information sent to student parents, Andrew Stith, the President at Cristo Rey Jesuit High School confirmed that police are only investigating Bustos for secretly video recording 6 female students in the locker room, despite over 379 clips of videos recorded in October 7 - 8 in 2024 that were recovered and reviewed by police. It is not confirmed by police, if Bustos shared or uploaded the videos in the dark web.

Apparently, Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) learned from a student parent source, that more than 6 female students were secretly video recorded at the locker room by Bustos.

The CRJHS also released a 3-page parent and student letter on March 9, saying it would no longer hold a large parent and student public assembly at the school due to safety concerns and is not the appropriate course of action. But, the CRJHS will work with parents and students in a more private setting to discuss the pending Bustos case and other issues.

On March 10, Voces de la Frontera held a meeting for CRJSH students and their parents to discuss what occurred at the school and the lack of transparency by administrators and not informing the parents and students about what Bustos had engaged in until news sources began to report that Bustos was criminally charged for video recording underage female students semi-nude in the locker room.

On Ash Wednesday, March 5, multiple female students attending a school mass at 11:00 a.m. at the Cristo Rey Jesuit High School located at the 1800 block of W. National Ave., allegedly left in tears before the mass ended after Bustos's name was included in a prayer at the mass by a priest. Some of the student parents were posting in social media (Facebook) that the staff and administration at the CRJHS were inconsiderate to the victimized female students and in poor taste to allow for the priest to include Bustos's name in a prayer.

Bustos is a former Greenfield Police Officer who resigned in 2020 after several bottles of liquor worth $120 each went missing and not placed in inventory by Bustos who was one of the officers investigating a theft at a liquor store. Police body video camera footage from other officers at the scene showed Bustos handling the stolen bottles of liquor and placed them in his police squad car.

Bustos also made the Brady List of 191 law enforcement officers in Milwaukee County, which was released by TMJ4 News in conjunction with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and the non-profit newsroom called Wisconsin Watch, the officers are listed for none credible, criminal and internal investigation issues.

Washington And Winnebago County Sheriff's Offices In Wisconsin Joined 287g In Partnership With USICE In March 2025 To Turn Over Undocumented Criminal Inmates For Deportation Process

Out of 72 County Sheriff's Offices in Wisconsin, only 9 have joined the discriminatory 287g partnership with USICE.

Hispanic News Network U.S.A.

March 8, 2025

Wisconsin- A total of 9 County Sheriff's Department's in Wisconsin have joined 287g partnership with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (USICE) to conduct immigration enforcement at their county jails as of March 7, 2025, which jailed undocumented inmates arrested by state or local law enforcement and booked at the county jails that are suspected of being illegally in the U.S., and are identified as removable illegal aliens with criminal or pending criminal charges (felony or serious misdemeanors), are held under USICE detainers for deportation process.

Both, Winnebago County Sheriff's Office and the Washington County Sheriff's Office are the latest to joined the 287g program enforcement under the Trump administration in 2025.

The 9 County Sheriff's Department's participating in 287g are the following:

• Brown County Sheriff's Office, joined 10/16/2020

• Fond du Lac County Sheriff's Office, joined 6/5/2020

• Manitowoc County Sheriff's Office, joined 6/5/2020

• Marquette County Sheriff's Office, joined 5/21/

2020

• Sheboygan  County Sheriff's Office, joined 2/27/2020

• Washington County Sheriff's Office, joined 3/3/2025

• Waukesha County Sheriff's Office, joined 6/10/2020

• Waushara County Sheriff's Office, joined 6/8/2020

• Winnebago County Sheriff's Office, joined 3/5/2025

U.S. ICE 287g national listing at link: https://www.ice.gov/doclib/about/offices/ero/287g/participatingAgencies03072025am.xlsx

Implementing the 287g program in any jurisdiction has its history of drawbacks and anticipated federal lawsuits by immigrant rights groups and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) who have previously filed lawsuits and proved that such practices under 287g are contributed to illegal profiling, civil rights violation and discrimination by local authorities enforcing immigration laws. 

In most cases, law enforcement agencies who use the 287g program usually profile, discriminate and violate the civil rights of those targeted under the program.

The ACLU of Wisconsin condemn all Wisconsin County Sheriff's Departments participating in the 287g program with USICE, and released a statement saying, "The reality is that cooperation with ICE makes our communities not only less welcoming to immigrants, but also makes us all less safe." (https://www.aclu-wi.org/en/press-releases/aclu-wisconsin-condemns-new-287g-agreements-between-ice-and-washington-winnebago)

The Dodge County Sheriff's Office has a contract with USICE to hold undocumented inmates that are being process for deportation, and has a USICE agent on duty from the Chicago field office. The Dodge County Detention Facility at the Town of Juneau, in Wisconsin has at least 356 beds, 170 beds for detainees from USICE and the U.S. Marshals Service.

In Dane County, the Sheriff's Office gets tens of thousands of dollars of federal funding by reporting the illegal status of its inmates to the federal government under the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP), a voluntary federal system that provides grants to reimburse local law enforcement agencies for the cost associated with holding undocumented inmates who have been convicted of crimes, eventhough, it doesn't has a 287g partnership with USICE, according to the Cap Times dot com.

Example of discriminatory practices under 287g: Maricopa County Sheriff's Office in Arizona under former Sheriff Joe Arpaio, in which a federal court found blatant illegal profiling, discrimination and civil rights violations when arresting victims.

Arpaio was held in contempt for violations by a federal judge, and Arpaio was ousted from office on November 9, 2016. The new elected Sheriff Paul Penzone in Maricopa County immediately terminated the 287g ICE partnership.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Tuesday, the latest Milwaukee County Brady List that includes 191 names of local law enforcement officers with alleged credibility issues was released by TMJ4 News in conjunction with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and a non-profit newsroom called Wisconsin Watch, which Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) noticed that the name of then (2007) Milwaukee Police Officer Alexander C. Ayala who today is a Milwaukee police detective and the current president of Milwaukee Police Association was not included in the Brady List. According to TMJ4, the Brady List was released to the them by the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office.

Latest Brady List link: https://public.flourish.studio/visualisation/21833737/

The Brady List does include the name of former Milwaukee Police Officer Jose Morales who's real name is Oscar Ayala-Cornejo, who was illegally in country and used his deceased cousin's name from Chicago, Illinois, a U.S. citizen to become a Milwaukee police officer who was assigned to the Southside Milwaukee Police Station District 2 in 2007.

When Ayala-Cornejo used Jose Morales's name to become a Milwaukee police officer, which at the time, his brother, then Police Officer Alexander C. Ayala also known as Alex knew that Ayala-Cornejo was undocumented, but he didn't say anything at the time to the Milwaukee Police Department administration. A tip to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (USICE) led to the arrest of Officer Morales on May 2007 at the Police District Station 2. 

Ayala-Cornejo was later deported to Guadalajara,  Mexico on December 23, 2007 after accepting a plea agreement to plea guilty, he agreed to be deported, and resigned from the Milwaukee Police Department. A federal judge sentenced Ayala-Cornejo to one year probation at the time.

Alexander was fired on September 2007 for lying about his brother's identity by the Milwaukee Police Department, and reinstated on December 2007, with a 10-day suspension without pay, according to police reports.

The question remains today, why didn't Alexander C. Ayala's name appear in the latest Brady List?

Ayala was selected as UMOS Man of the Year in 2023 and also his family, UMOS Family of the Year 2023.

Ayala is currently a Board member of the Wisconsin Hispanic Scholarship Foundation, Inc. who sponsors the three-day Mexican Fiesta at the Summerfest grounds in late August.

Jennifer Wayd, Secured Full-time Librarian Position After Applying 60 Times In 13 Years For A Promotional Opportunity At MATC

After 13 years of applying 60 times for a promotional opportunity, the Milwaukee Area Technical College finally promoted Wayd to a full-time Librarian position.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Sunday, Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) learned that Jennifer Wayd that has worked at the Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC) in the Library Department for more than 13 years and had applied at least 60 times during her career for a promotional opportunity, but had been skipped or denied a full-time position,  has finally secured a full-time position as a Librarian at MATC. Congrats!

In December 2024, Wayd was among other MATC employees who addressed the MATC Board of Trustees during a meeting that had requested for an independent investigation of unaddressed concerns impacting Blacks and Latino employees. (Article link: http://hispanicnewsnetwork.blogspot.com/2024/12/african-american-network-requested-for.html)

During her testimony to the MATC Board of Trustees, Wayd told the Board that she had worked at MATC for 13 years and had applied at least 60 times for promotional opportunities at MATC during her career at the technical college, but was unsuccessful in getting promoted claiming ongoing discrimination employment practices at MATC. A few years ago, there were four new positions available in her department, Wayd who has two Master degrees had applied for an available position as an internal candidate and was well qualified, but MATC hired four new individuals from outside the institution with no internal experience for the available positions instead of her, now those very same individuals who were previously hired by MATC were supporting her for a full-time position she had applied for. She also claimed that she has a current manager with a vendetta against her and at the time of her testimony to the Board in December, she didn't believe that she would get an opportunity to get promoted.

However, that has changed and Wayd secured a full-time Librarian position.

HNNUSA also reported in October 2024, the alleged ongoing discriminatory, harassment, hostile work environment and retribution practices that MATC employees experience for exposing the ongoing plight that Black and Latino employees endure at MATC for filing complaints and who have gone before the Board to testify about their own personal employment experience.

U.S. House MAGAs Passed Budget Plan Framework That Will Destroy Medicaid (Cuts $880B in Heathcare), Cuts SNAP (Foodstamps) By $230B And Adds $100B To Pentagon Spending

Controversial U.S. House MAGA budget plan framework with instructions passed to destroy Medicaid as we know it, and cuts taxes for the rich.

By H. Nelson Goodson 

Hispanics News Network U.S.A.

February 26, 2025

Washington, D.C. - The U.S. House on Tuesday also voted 217, mostly Republicans (MAGAs) - 215, a majority of Dems and 1 Republican (U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) voted "No" along with Dems in the House. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2mrBCmH/) to approve a budget plan framework resolution with instructions to cut $880B from Medicaid, which will basically limit (drastically destroying Medicaid) the healthcare benefits for low income U.S. citizens, the disabled population and the aging (seniors) taxpayers, the MAGA budget plan also includes $230B cuts to SNAP (food stamps program), in order offset the $1.1T of tax cuts for the upper 1% of the people, that will receive a tax cut of $36,320. In addition, if a person earns $55K per year, the MAGA budget plan will raise their taxes by $1,530, so for the bottom 95% of the people, it raises their taxes and only cuts taxes for the 5% of the top people, which will add $4.5T of tax cuts in the next 10 years, with $2T in spending cuts, which the specific reductions will be determined by the individual House Committee. 

The Republican/MAGA budget plan adds more than $4T debt ceiling to the national debt. The budget framework plan also adds $100B to the Pentagon spending, which Trump had previously pretended to cut Pentagon spending by 8%, which the House bill plan will now head to the U.S. Senate for budget concilidation.

The approval of the House MAGA budget plan framework that basically destroys Medicaid is expected to ignite major protests around the country and will have a major backlash against Trump and the Republican/MAGA U.S. Congress as the House bill plan moves to the federal Senate for concilidation.

House Committees will now have to propose funding cuts from Medicaid, SNAP and etc., according to the proposed framework in the U.S. House budget plan reconciliation for the final bill to move forward and conciliate with the U.S. Senate.

The White low income MAGAs (Make Amerikkka Great Again) and MAGA seniors in the U.S. who voted for the 34-count convicted felon Trump will be the hardest hit with the cuts to Medicaid, healthcare services and SNAP.

In addition, the U.S. House voted as follows, 212 Dems and 1 Republican voted against no tax on tips and overtime, while 217 Republicans voted in favor of no tax on tips, Social Security and overtime.

Editor's note: In case no one has noticed, the White Nationalist Amerikkkan MAGA politics has been fueled (funded) by the oligarchy (1% of the rich) to create today's Facist Theocracy in federal government.

Also, the federal government provides millions of dollars of subsidies to major corporations, which they don't have to pay back, and considered wasteful spending by taxpayers. The majority of MAGA U.S. representatives and federal senators in both legislative chambers have ignored the huge backlash of their constituency about the proposed cuts to Medicaid, SNAP and etc., but they continue to ignore them simply because, if they are voted out or resign, they are easily welcomed to work for the major corporations they provided major tax cuts at the expense of gutting Medicare, SNAP and other federal programs that benefit their constituency. Lastly, these MAGA federal legislators will also benefit from their federal pensions and especially, if they become lobbyists for major corporations after retiring or deciding not to run for reelection.

Foreign Billionaires Can Buy A Gold Card Plus (Green Card) For $5M With A Path To U.S. Citizenship, 34-count Convicted Felon Trump Announced

Washington,  D.C. - On Tuesday, Trump stated, "We're gonna be selling a gold card. You have a green card, this is a gold card. We're gonna be putting a price on that card of about $5 million and that's gonna give you green card privileges plus."

"It's gonna be a route to citizenship. And wealthy people will be coming into our country by buying this card.

"They'll be wealthy and they'll be successful and they'll be spending a lot of money and paying a lot of taxes and employing a lot of people."

Those billionaires interested in buying a Gold Card will be allowed to skip the line, while the less fortunate applying for a Green Card will have to wait years to get approved under the current broken down immigration system.

Trump, the 34-count convicted orange  🍊 felon and the White Nationalist MAGA (Republicans) in the U.S. Congress are currently working to pass a federal budget with major tax cuts for the billionaires (oligarchy), which will raise the debt ceiling to $5T deficit at the expense of cutting Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, federal programs for the low income, also cutting public housing (HUD) and veteran benefits.

Also on Tuesday, the U.S. House voted as follows, 212 Dems and 1 Republican voted against no tax on tips and overtime, while 217 Republicans voted in favor of no tax on tips, Social Security and overtime.

Undocumented MPS Teacher's Aide Yessenia Ruano Given Additional Time To File For T-visa Legal Status, According To USICE In Milwaukee

Ruano works as a Milwaukee Public Schools teacher's aide, but it's unclear how she was hired by MPS without allegedly having an authorized work visa or permit, since she is undocumented, according to her revelation during a press conference last Tuesday at Voces de la Frontera (VDLF).

Hispanic News Network U.S.A.

February 14, 2025

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Friday, Trump's MAGA (Make Amerikkka Great Again) U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (USICE) decided to allow additional time for Yessenia Ruano, 37, originally from El Salvador and a Milwaukee Public Schools teacher's aide to apply for a T-visa. A T-visa is issued to victims of severe human trafficking, according to USICE. Ruano will now have to continue her efforts to remain in the U.S. as the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services considers her filing for a T-visa., which her pending T-visa filing would protect Ruano from deportation while her immigration status is decided under the Trump administration, but it doesn't allegedly give her the authorization to work legally pending the outcome of the decision.

It's unclear how Ruano, who is considered undocumented was hired by the Milwaukee Public Schools District as a teacher's aide, when she allegedly did not have a work authorization visa or permit. 

VDLF claimed that Ruano had an active Human Trafficking visa application, but didn't confirm, if Ruano was authorized to work in the U.S..

While undocumented,  Ruano arrived in the U.S. in 2011 and lived in Jackson. Wisconsin before moving to Milwaukee in 2013. 

Ruano told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that in 2023, she had filled out a T-visa application, but her attorney at that time never filed it with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (MJS) on Thursday reported, "After Ruano crossed the southern border into the U.S. in 2011 at age 24, she petitioned for a status that recognizes those escaping persecution, called "withholding of removal." It is similar to asylum. It provides a work permit and the opportunity to stay indefinitely in the country...In 2023, a judge ruled her case for withholding of removal wasn't strong enough, and he offered her a deal. He'd dismiss her case but not order her to leave the U.S. Her attorney advised her to take the deal, so she did," according to the MJS. Her decision to take the deal left her vulnerable for deportation proceedings.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Tuesday, the Milwaukee Common Council on a vote of 13-0 decided for nonrenewal of the Class B Tavern, Public Entertainment Premises and Food Dealer licenses for Antonio R. Layton based upon the preponderance of the evidence in the police report, residents, aldermanic, applicant and Milwaukee Police Department officers testimony that demonstrated the operation results in a threat to health, safety and welfare of the public for the reckless driving of patrons, excessive loitering, assaults, battery, loud noise at the time that the bar is operating and the failure to comply with the approved plan of operations; for the premises located at 2537 W National Av. ("La Cueva") in the 8th Aldermanic District. 

La Cueva was only licensed to sell beer, but it also sold bottled alcohol at the restaurant and tavern, which violated the restrictions of a Class B Tavern license in the City of Milwaukee.

According to Alderwoman JoCasta Zamarripa from the 8th Aldermanic District, Layton and his manager Kurtis Peterson operated La Cueva like a nightclub and operated it the wrong way, which resulted in the nonrenewal of their beer Class B Tavern, Public Entertainment Premises and Food Dealer licenses.

On Tuesday, February 11, 2025 was the last day La Cueva was open to operate. As of Wednesday, La Cueva's operating licenses expired.

La Cueva's Milwaukee social media (Facebook) page recently changed to MCE Promotion Group.

The fugitive was identified as Vianey Guadalupe Garcia-Velazquez, 22, originally from Mexico, who was taken into custody on Tuesday, February 4, 2025 by a Texas Highway Patrol (THP) trooper after she was stopped for a traffic violation in the City of Laredo. 

During the stop, it was discovered Garcia-Velazquez was attempting to flee to Mexico to avoid a 10-year probation sentence. With the assistance of the Ellis County District Attorney's Office, the TXDPS executed an arrest warrant for a probation violation, and Garcia-Velazquez was booked into the Webb County Sheriff's Jail.

According to the criminal complaint, Garcia-Velazquez was arrested in Waxahachie, Texas in August of 2023 and convicted of sexual performance with a child, indecency with a child, and possession of child pornography.

Xochitl Maximino From La Herradura Taco Food Truck Has Yet to Publicly Apologize To Las Palmas Bar & Restaurant For Posting Unverified Video Call Of Individual Pretending To Be From The Restaurant Making Threats

HNNUSA learned that an individual (allegedly an employee) connected to La Taquería Buenavista made a threatening call to La Herradura taco food truck operator pretending to be the owner of Las Palmas Bar & Restaurant. He claimed that La Herradura food truck was parked at a property at S. 60 Street and W. Beloit Road in West Allis, and if the owner of food truck didn't move it, he would remove it from the location.

West Allis, Wisconsin - On February 2, 2025, an individual now allegedly identified as Álvaro Ramos-Montejo, 40, of South Milwaukee apparently called 911 to report that La Herradura taco food truck was parked at a abandoned parking lot located at S. 60 Street and W. Beloit Road in West Allis. When police arrived at the mentioned parking lot, they found that the operator had permission from the owner of the parking lot to park and also La Herradura had a City of Milwaukee food truck permit allowing the food truck to park anywhere where permissible and authorized to sell food in Milwaukee County.

Police also visited the operator of Las Palmas Bar & Restaurant because apparently the caller in a recorded video released by Xochitl Maximino in La Taquería Herradura Facebook (FB) page said he was from Las Palmas Bar & Restaurant. The actual operator of Las Palmas told West Allis police that he, nor anyone from Las Palmas had called police to report La Herradura at an abandoned property parking lot.

Apparently, Ramos-Montejo had called Maximino and when Maximino returned the call, the call was video recorded. Ramos-Montejo in the call with Maximino falsely pretended to identify himself as the operator of Las Palmas, which later was discovered that he was lying. In the call, Ramos-Montejo admitted that he had called La Migra (USICE) and reported La Herradura, in addition he threatened to remove La Herradura taco food truck from the location it was parked at. (video call link: https://youtube.com/shorts/sd5bedG535k)

So far, Maximino from La Herradura has yet to publicly apologize to the owners of Las Palmas Bar & Restaurant for prematurely posting the video call in social media without first verifying, if in fact the individual Maximino had talked too was the actual owner of Las Palmas.

The Herradura FB video call post went viral, but was taken down later. 

On Wednesday both Hugo Rivera and Tony Rivera confirmed the Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) that Maximino has not publicly apologized for posting the video call with Ramos-Montejo pretending to be from Las Palmas. Hugo and Tony also say that they began to receive a multitude of threatening calls at Las Palmas immediately after Maximino posted the video in La Taquería Herradura Facebook page.

West Allis police continue with the ongoing investigation to identity who called 911 and reported La Taquería Herradura.

Tony Rivera from Las Palmas in his personal social media (Facebook) account posted a statement that neither he, nor any employees from Las Palmas Restaurant had called La Herradura to threaten them.

Taquería Buenavista also posted a statement on their social media (Facebook) page apologizing to both Las Palmas and La Herradura for having their business involved in the incident about calling La Migra and threatening to remove La Herradura taco food truck from the private parking lot located about a block away.

The Taquería Buenavista didn't identity, nor did it confirm an employee was responsible for the calls to 911 or to La Herradura, but admitted the business was connected to the incident.

Statement from Taquería Buenavista, "We want to make it clear that this incident is not related to the values or operations of Taqueria Buenavista. We deeply regret that our establishment has been involved in this matter and are committed to clarifying the situation appropriately."

Facebook users allegedly identified, Ramos-Montejo, as the individual making the call to La Herradura operator Maximino and pretending to be the operator of Las Palmas Restaurant.

The owner of the Taquería Buenavista at S. 60 Street and W. Burnham Ave. in West Allis is Enicacio Sánchez.

Attempts on Tuesday by HNNUSA to contact Maximino from La Herradura were unsuccessful.

34-year-old Hank D. Glembin, A Fake U.S. Customs Border Protection Agent In Waukesha County Charged With Identity Theft And Impersonating A Peace Officer

Fake U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent Glembin Ironically approached two separate police officers from different jurisdictions in Waukesha County offering to help them while they were in the field working.

Waukesha, Wisconsin - On Friday, Hank Donald Glembin, 34, of New Berlin was charged with two felony counts of identity theft and two misdemeanor counts of impersonating a peace officer (off-duty U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent) in Waukesha County.

If convicted, Glembin is facing up to 6 years in prison and up to $10,000 in fines, or both for each felony count of identify theft, and up to 9 months in prison and up to $10,000 in fines, or both for each misdemeanor count of impersonating a peace officer.

A $2,000 signature bond was set for Glembin and was scheduled for a Waukesha County Court hearing on February 13, 2025, according to Waukesha County Court records.

According to the criminal complaint, Glembin was wearing a black cap with the yellow initials CBP (U.S. Customs and Border Protection), border patrol clothing, Khaki pants, a green duty vest with the right side patch saying Agent, and a left side patch that read DHS (Department of Homeland Security) in line one, CBPBPA (Customs and Border Protection-Border Patrol Agent) in line 2 and Agent H.D. Glembin in line 3, and in possession of false identification, a black firearm and handcuffs, when he encounter two police officers from separate police jurisdictions in Waukesha County.

On January 25, 2025, a Muskego female police officer was investigating a vehicle striking a deer at Racine Avenue and Cardinal Drive, when Glembin driving a green Ford Ranger pickup truck pulled over at the scene and offered to help her. Glembin told the Muskego officer that he was driving around when he came upon the scene. Glembin identified himself as an off-duty "border control" agent.

The Muskego officer had to tell Glembin that she was in relationship after Glembin began to hit on her. Later that night he went to the Muskego Police Department and asked for the female officer, which she then began to doubt that Glembin was a federal agent.

On January 29, 2025, a New Berlin male police officer did a traffic stop around W. National Ave and South Fountain Square Blvd for a registration check, when Glembin wearing his CBP clothes and black cap, green duty vest and gear pulled over in his pickup truck and asked, if the officer needed help, the officer declined.

The New Berlin Police Department later initiated an investigation on Glembin and when police contacted the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency, a agent confirmed that Glembin was not an agent with the CBP. 

Police and the CBP agent were able to verify that the CBP duty clothing, green duty vest and the CBP identification used by Glembin were fake and Glembin later confessed to police after getting arrested, that he ordered the fake CBP agent identification from the internet and that he wanted to be CBP agent.

Glembin is a U.S. Marine veteran.

In 2023, Hank and his wife Savanah Rose Glembin had their young son taken away by the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families - Child Protective Services for posting a TikTok video showing Hank in army fatigues holding his son wrapped in plastic wrap from the shoulder to his legs in order to get likes. The TikTok video went viral and then later Savanah posted a video that her son was taken by the Child Protective Services in the state, her son was later returned.

On October 2, 2024, Hank filed for divorce from Savanah, according to Waukesha County Court records.

Four Mexican-Norteño Venue Groups Being Canceled By Latinos For Allegedly Supporting Trump, They Are Grupo Frontera, Banda MS, Fuerza Regida And Edición Especial

The following four Regional Norteño Mexican music venue groups, Grupo Frontera, Banda MS, Fuerza Regida and Edición Especial have been canceled by the public fan audience (none MAGAs) for their alleged support for the 34-count convicted felon Trump.

Edinberg, Texas - Thousands of none MAGAs have begun to cancel four Regional Norteño Mexican music groups, Grupo Frontera, Banda MS, Fuerza Regida and Edición Especial for allegedly supporting 34-count convicted felon Donald J. Trump, 78, according social media posts going viral by users in the internet. The Grupo Frontera was first outed by Sara Jasmine who says that Grupo Frontera members has posted videos and posts supporting Trump including grandparents dancing to Trump's YMCA campaign song. After the group was outed and social media users began to call for the cancelation of Grupo Frontera in the U.S. and Mexico, they began to delete all social media posts related to Trump.

After Grupo Frontera was outed for allegedly supporting Trump and associated with Latinos for Trump, other social media posts surfaced allegedly outing three other groups, Banda MS, Fuerza Regida and Edición Especial for also supporting Trump. 

These Mexican Regional and Norteño music venue groups do make a living by performing at outdoor festival concerts, flea markets, recordings and indoor dances around the U.S. and Mexico, but they failed to realize that some of their own fan base are not Trump MAGA (Make Amerikkka Great Again) supporters and don't support Trump's MAGA U.S. Immigration and Customs (USICE) mass deportations, family separations and immigration enforcement mass arrests of the undocumented tax paying workers in the country.

It seems the call to cancel and boycott these groups will linger on, and most likely other groups will face the same canceled wave, if they self-expose themselves as Trump supporters.

Unrelated to Trump and politics, Yahritza y Su Esencia are also being canceled by their fans after Yahritza in an interview said she didn't like the noise in Mexico and the rest of the members of the group said they didn't like the food in Mexico, but liked chicken in the U.S..

VDLF And Allies Stage Protest Against Self-exposed MAGA Principal Fritz Blandón From Allen-Field Elementary School In The Predominately Latino Southside Community, Most Residents Are Democrats

Blandón, a self-exposed Trump MAGA in social media came under fire by Voces de la Frontera, allies, public elected officials and members of the non-Latino and Hispanic community in the Southside of Milwaukee for suspending a 2nd grade teacher for informing the parents of Latino students where legal services were available to them. Blandón interpret that legal services info as a political message, how ironic.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Wednesday, a large crowd gathered at Allen-Field Elementary School at the 700 block of W. Lapham Ave. to protest against Fritz Blandón, a self-exposed Trump MAGA (Make Amerikkka Great Again) supporter who happens to be the principal at Allen-Field.

Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) first broke the story that Blandón had self-exposed himself as being a Trump MAGA supporter in social media (Facebook). MAGAs are allegedly well known for continuously lying, their anti-immigrant stand, hate and racist rhetoric towards people of color and are considered facist-communists, according to a national trend consensus.

Allen-Field Elementary School is part of the Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) in the City of Milwaukee where a majority of voters are Democrats and pay taxes including property taxes that are used to pay the salaries of teachers, including the MPS administration staff and Superintendent.

Apparently, Blandón seemed to care less, if he exposed himself as a Trump supporter while working, earning a salary and making a living from a majority Democrat voting City, which is ironic because water and oil don't mixed.

Blandón came under fire after he suspended Alondra García, a 2nd grade teacher at Allen-Field Elementary School, for sending out information to student parents about legal services available to them. Blandón claimed it was a political message.

Video: Alondra García's statement at protest https://youtu.be/adwX3PQO0O0

The Milwaukee Teacher's Education Association released a Safe Haven toolkit at the following link: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BiYwYV9Rr/

MPS released the attached statement regarding today's concerns of national developments,  where the Trump MAGA U.S. Department of Homeland Security confirmed that the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) can enter churches and schools to detain the undocumented.

Mexicans are not asylum seekers, Fritz Blandón doesn't know the difference. He shares MAGA White Nationalist fake propaganda.

La Cueva's Restaurant & Tavern License Denied Renewal By Milwaukee Common Council Licenses Committee, Restaurant Ran As A Nightclub, And Sold Bottle Service

La Cueva Restaurant & Tavern owner Antonio Layton accused of not being transparent by Alderwoman Zamarripa, the Chairperson of the Licenses Committee.

By H. Nelson Goodson 

Hispanic News Network U.S.A.

January 28, 2025

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Tuesday, the Milwaukee Common Council Licenses Committee voted unanimously not to renew La Cueva Restaurant & Tavern license citing multiple prior incidents involving fights, shootings, a stabbing, a minor being served inside, a bartender serving patrons that didn't have a license to bartend, selling illegal tabacco and liquor bottle setups without a license, having contaminated liquor, hiring felons on paper as bouncers and the list goes on..., according to over an hour of testimony by police, and neighbors opposing a renewal of the City Class B Tavern license.

La Cueva was approved a Class B Tavern license in 2024, which farmented malt beverages (beer) should be sold, it didn't have a Class A license to sell intoxicating liquor at the premises.

Markos López, the owner of the building at 2537 W. National Ave. filed an eviction notice against La Cueva, which Attorney Vincent Bobot who represents Layton says, that they are challenging the eviction. Testimony from the building owner indicated that La Cueva still owes money for the water bill and that La Cueva was a month behind the rent, but is up to date in rent payment.

López says, that La Cueva attempted to rent their kitchen to a food truck operation, which would be in violation of the rental lease.

Police testified that on Tuesday, January 28, 2025 at 12:44 a.m. they went to investigate complaints of parking congestion, and when police first parked to investigate, they saw several groups of patrons (15 individuals each group) leaving La Cueva Restaurant & Tavern before police entered the establishment and did a head count of 96 patrons inside. A police officer told the Committee, if they would have entered La Cueva 5 minutes earlier, they would have found an over capacity tavern.

Police Officer Anton Powell also testified that on December 31, 2024, New Year's Eve, they went to La Cueva Restaurant and found an over capacity at the tavern, which capacity was 99, but several counts by police confirmed an over capacity and shut down the tavern, one count done inside registered 162 patrons and second one done while patrons were exiting resulted with more 182 patrons.

A social media (Facebook) video was shown to Committee members where a huge brawl took place in front of La Cueva in June 2024, which staff nor security called police. Police later were able to acquire outdoor video surveillance footage from the adjacent El Toro Taquería restaurant. Ald. Zamarripa introduced a Facebook video showing the same brawl between several women.

Alderperson Zamarripa from the 8th Aldermanic District where La Cueva is located asked Layton, if the tavern was offering bottle service, he admitted that champagne bottles were offered on New Year's Eve, but had stopped months earlier.

Ald. Zamarripa accused Layton of not running a full service restaurant, but rather running a nightclub, and not well run, which several social media videos inside the premises were shown to Committee members to support her allegation.

Ald. Zamarripa also placed on the record that several days ago, Kurtis Peterson, the alleged manager (co-owner) of La Cueva posted on his personal Facebook account a post saying "Guest bottle girls," which La Cueva doesn't have a license to offer. During the testimony, Layton admitted that Peterson and him live at the same address in Oak Creek, Wisconsin.

Ald. Zamarripa claimed that she moved not to new La Cueva's license because Layton had been ingenious and untruthful to her and members of the Committee.

Attorney Vicent Bobot who represented Layton told the Committee that he was unaware that liquor bottles were being sold inside La Cueva.

The Licenses Committee unanimously agreed with Ald. Zamarripa for non-renewal due to the preponderance of the evidence, police report, residents testimony and the applicants own testimony that demonstrates the operations resulted that La Cueva was not run as a full service restaurant, but run as a nightclub and not run well, and it was a threat to health, safety and the welfare of the public citing excess battery, assaults and other incidents at the premises.

The Licenses Committee non-renewal of La Cueva's license goes before the full Milwaukee Common Council on February 11, 2025.

Waukegan And South Chicago Residents Captured Feds Conducting Raid Sweeps Without Judicial Warrants, 1 Taken Into Custody In Waukegan After Woman Opened Door In Illinois

Multiple federal agents wearing body armor and heavily armed conducted door knock raid sweeps in the City of Waukegan, Mundelein, North Chicago and South Chicago without any judicial federal warrants signed by a judge, local residents reported in social media on Sunday.

Waukegan, Illinois - On Sunday, multiple federal agents allegedly from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (U.S.ICE), U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Marshals Service (U.S.MS) and etc. wearing body armor saying police/federal/ICE agent and heavily armed in unmarked vehicles with tinted windows conducted a door knock raid sweep at various locations in Waukegan, Mundelein,  North Chicago, and South Chicago in Illinois. Numerous neighbors and residents were able to take photos and videos of unmarked vehicles including several with out of state license plates from Iowa, federal government plates and etc., according to Facebooks posts by Margaret Carrasco and Leslie Pérez Sánchez from Waukegan, Roselee Ayala and Tom Ramos from South Chicago.

Carrasco reported at least 30 feds near a catholic church preparing for a massive raid operation allegedly targeting those attending the Sunday's church service.

Ramos reported USICE agents at E. 99 Street and S. Commercial Ave. in South Chicago.

So far, 1 unidentified man was taken into custody because his wife opened the door when feds knocked at the door, but they didn't have a valid judicial federal warrant signed by a federal judge to arrest anyone, the wife says.

No federal agency has announced or confirmed any mass raids taking place in the Waukegan and the Chicago metro-area on Sunday.

USICE under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (USDHS) is known to be one of the most corrupt immigration law enforcement agencies in the federal government. (http://hispanicnewsnetwork.blogspot.com/2017/10/us-ice-and-border-customs-agents-lack.html)

According to a fed source, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Bureau of Alcohol, Tabacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), U.S. Marshals Service, Federal Bureau of Prison, U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have been operating as a immigration enforcement task force under a directive by Trump.

Fritz Blandón's Personal Facebook Adorned With Trump Photos, He Happens To Be The Principal Of Allen Field Elementary School, Which Has A Large Latino Student Enrollment In The Southside Of Milwaukee

Blandón had openly displayed photos of Trump since 2023 in his personal Facebook account, which is raising concerns among members of the Latino community amidst current incidents reported in several states about U.S. ICE attempting to enter the Hamline Elementary School in Chicago, Illinois (later determined to be U.S. Secret Service agents, which were denied entry) and ICE agents going to the wrong house in Brentwood, Long Island, New York looking for undocumented children.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - A circulating social media (Facebook) post by Brayan MB makes reference to Firtz Blandón's personal Facebook account showing photos of Trump most likely indicating that Blandón is a Trump supporter. Brayan MB wrote in his post, "Well well well, Principal to a huge Latino population at Allen Field Im sure he will protect his kids when ICE comes a knocking."

Blandón has the right to post what he desires in his personal Facebook account, but amidst of Trump's mass deportation agenda, he might have to endure public criticism for posting photos of Presidential candidate Trump since 2023 and additional concerns from the parents of Latino students attending the elementary school.

34-count convicted felon Donald J. Trump, 78, was elected the 47th President of the U.S. in November 2024.

Blandón was tagged in Brayan MB's FB post, so he must be aware that his FB account was tagged and shared. Blandón's FB account is still active.

So far, the Milwaukee Public Schools District and local immigrant groups including Voces de la Frontera and Forward Latino including local immigrant rights activists and local public elected officials haven't commented on Blandón's personal FB posts or that they currently had any concerns about Blandón posting Trump's photos in his personal FB account and also being the principal at Allen Field Elementary School.

According to Change dot org publication, All MPS schools are supposed to be covered by the Safe Haven program to do all possible to protect students and families from ICE raids but implementation of an already insufficient program has been very weak!

The Change dot org post claims that, "Principal principal Blandon at Allen-Field School has gone beyond placing an unjustified statement in Ms. Garcia’s file, towards a 1 day unpaid suspension scheduled for 1/29, charging that she sent a “political” message." 

Alondra Garcia apparently sent out information from the school to students families about legal services available to them, especially if they are potentially facing deportation, which school administrators should have done in the first place. Blandón who is a openly Trump supporter believed that Garcia sent out a political message.

On January 27, 2025, 2nd grade teacher at Allen-Field Elementary School posted the following letter to the Milwaukee Public Schools superintendent.

❗️OPEN LETTER TO THE COMMUNITY❗️

Sent to Superintendent, Board Members and MTEA leadership THIS morning

Good morning everyone,

I have some very concerning information to share with you all in regard to principal, Fritz Blandón, at Allen-Field Elementary. His comments and behavior towards implementing the Safe Haven Resolution protocol are problematic. The most recent incident occurred during our monthly Building Committee meeting on January 23rd. The Safe Haven Resolution was an agenda item, and I brought up my concern that if a federal ICE agent were to come to our school, we are to follow protocol as given by the district which is to direct ICE to student services and NOT share any information regarding any student. Principal Blandón went onto say, "well if a federal ICE agent comes to the school with a signed warrant from a judge looking for someone, I can't stop. I won't put myself in front of them, that is federal government, and I can't do anything about it." There were several other teachers that were present during the meeting who can testify and give their own input to these comments. What he said is a problem. How are our students supposed to feel safe in a school environment that is said to be a Safe Haven for all, when the school leader will not follow protocol? We were all shocked to have heard this from him. I went on to ask then, "well if a parent is coming to you for printed copies of the resources found in the Safe Haven Resolution page on MPS, will you print it out for them since you said you are the point of contact for the Safe Haven Resolution" and Blandón went on to say, “yes, but I'll charge them 25 cents per page." I was confused to why, so I asked, "where does it say it is 25 cents per page?" and he said, "it is District policy". I didn't know how to respond and left it at that. He is putting up barriers for OUR families from receiving the services and resources they need. I could tell he was adamant to even want to do the bare minimum of communications with staff in regard to the Safe Haven Resolution protocol slides that were shared with all principals during the Principal Institute. I heard through other colleagues at different schools that their principal shared the protocol slides with their staff as part of their PD and asked him why we haven't received the memo. He deflected by saying that "principals receive many things at the principal institute and I do not share everything because not everything is relevant to staff and families". Who says that especially with the scary reality of how fearful our families feel in regard to ICE showing up at schools where it was once deemed "sensitive" locations and no longer is. I myself fear for my own safety as I am an immigrant with a temporary protection. I do NOT feel comfortable nor safe working under leadership that says these very concerning and outright harmful comments to the community he serves and is supposed to protect from ICE. I beg you to do something about the situation AND him. Thank you.

In solidarity,

Alondra❤️‍🔥
