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.

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.

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❤️‍🔥

Trump's Mass Deportations Of Essential Workers Will Only Create Major Economic Crisis, Feds In Partnership With States Should Issue Regulated Work Visas To Existing Workers And Prevent Nationwide Economic Disaster

The Trump administration has authorized for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, military, U.S. Marshals Service and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Officers to conduct massive raids with the intent to deport essential (undocumented) workers throughout the nation, without any intent to replace those jobs that the traditional American labor force doesn't want to do.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - The State of Wisconsin is facing an economic crisis today, which other states throughout the nation will also endure and share in the next two years, if a proposed solution to the labor crisis being created isn't implemented to save Wisconsin from the upcoming labor economic crisis, which is expected to disrupt our food chain supplies and etc..

Most Americans, especially Wisconsinites have been blindsided by the usual hate, divisive, racist, and anti-immigrant rhetoric by Donald J. Trump, 78, the current 47th President of the U.S. who has launched a massive mass deportation operation in the nation as promised in his political campaign involving the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Marshals Service, military and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (USICE). Most of those targeted for mass deportation will be essential (undocumented) workers who do jobs that a majority to U.S. workers don't want to do. Which means, these undocumented essential workers caught in the wave of mass deportation operations are considered collateral arrests. 

Today, the Trump administration and the Wisconsin GOP controlled legislature including Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers (D) haven't proposed any credible option or solution to replace those essential (undocumented) workers that might be caught in the wave of mass deportations.

Who are these essential workers, they are the construction workers, landscaping workers, those that work in the agriculture and food production, dairy farms, taking care of the elderly, caregivers, restaurants workers, critical retail workers and ect..

In Wisconsin, according to Wisconsin State Representative Sylvia Ortiz-Velez (D-Milw), there is a 45,000 workers shortage and the void continues to grow, and with the proposed mass deportation of essential undocumented workers in the next several years, it will definitely lead to an unprecedented Wisconsin labor and food economic crisis.

The option and proposed solution to avoid a Wisconsin labor economic crisis in the next two years, Wisconsin should form a partnership with the immigration feds, U.S. Department of Labor and the Trump administration, so that the state can be allowed to provide and regulate approved visas to the undocumented essential workers that register through businesses, dairy farms, industry, restaurants and ect. to do work or existing work.

A federal/state partnership operated visa workers program in Wisconsin for the essential undocumented workers would be the appropriate option in this case to prevent a Wisconsin labor and food economic crisis.

Other states could also form partnerships with the feds where needed to avoid a nationwide labor and food economic crisis.

The Bracero program sponsored by the U.S. government between 1942 - 1962 imported Mexican farm and railroad workers into the U.S. for labor, but today, more than 13M undocumented labor workers who are considered essential workers are already in the country and can be allowed to stay and continue to do the essential jobs once provided with a visa to work and continue to be contributing taxpayers and stakeholders in Wisconsin and the U.S.A..

63-year-old Dorothy McGrath, Former Production Manager At Milwaukee PBS-MATC Passed Away

McGrath worked at Milwaukee PBS-MATC as production manager for more than 5 years, while working 5 years at the technical college she was the only female Asian-American employed as a veteran department production manager at Milwaukee PBS. She exposed a practiced work environment discrimination of lower pay salaries for women, low Social Security and retirement pension compared to male counterparts and had filed a fact finding response to a bad work performance review she received from the MATC VP and General Manager of PBS.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Wednesday, Patricia Gómez, the Director/Production/Host at Milwaukee PBS, announced the passing of Dorothy McGrath, 63, the former Production Manager at Milwaukee PBS. Gómez in a mass mailing wrote, Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Last night, I received the heartbreaking news that Dorothy McGrath had passed away. Dorothy was the Production Manager at Milwaukee PBS as part of Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC) for over seven years. She was also a proud Asian American Veteran.

Like many others—both women and minorities, as well as non-minorities—Dorothy faced retaliation and discrimination in the workplace - MATC-MPBS. She was often overlooked in her role, and her salary was lower than that of white male colleagues hired after her despite having more experience and a heavier workload. Like many of us, she was subjected to fact-finding meetings as part of retaliation. Two years ago, amidst harassment, discrimination, and retaliation, Dorothy made the difficult decision to leave Milwaukee PBS when she was offered a position with Alaska Public Media.

Dorothy was an incredibly skilled and hardworking manager.  She mentored many of us—whether we were her direct reports or simply anyone who sought her guidance.

I had a heavy heart when I saw her leave the station MPBS. She would have stayed if she had been treated with the respect she deserved, but unfortunately, she was forced to find another place to grow. While it was painful to see her go, we found comfort in knowing she had been offered a position as Chief Operating Officer and VP of Administration.

Sadly, Dorothy's experience reflects the unlawful mistreatment that many of us have faced at MATC. Most employees are afraid to file official complaints because they have families to support and fear losing their jobs. MATC has implemented initiatives to improve the toxic environment of racism and gender discrimination within the organization, but these efforts are often nothing more than a façade. Incompetent managers are consistently hired, and a cycle of micromanagement persists, with little focus on improving the quality of services we provide—internally and externally.

Instead of working together to achieve our true mission—serving our communities, offering hope to those facing poverty through education, creating opportunities for economic mobility, and preparing professionals who will drive prosperity for all—we continue to move in never-ending circles, without achieving the goals we were meant to.

I will continue to raise my voice, even if the MATC administration wants me to remain silent. I will advocate for all, just as Dorothy taught me.  Dorothy, I admire you and will honor you by standing up against injustice and working to uphold the DEI standards. 

So long, my friend. My dear Dorothy.

Attached is a document written by Dorothy, in which she expresses her concerns including how lower-paid women of color receive less in Social Security and pensions when they retire- see attachment.
