Undocumented Children In ICE Cages, Illegal Sterilizations Of Undocumented Women At ICE Detention Centers, Lack Of COVID-19 Stimulus Relief For Undocumented Taxpayers And Comprehensive Immigration Reform Left Out Of The First Biden And Trump U.S. Presidential Debates 2020

Latinos/Hispanics and Immigration Reform left out of the first U.S. Presidential Debates 2020

September 30, 2020

Both presidential candidates, Joe Biden (D) and Donald Trump (R-MAGA) failed to discuss or even mention Comprehensive Immigration Reform, U.S.ICE immigration enforcement systematic racism or the plight that undocumented immigrants and their children are enduring while detained by ICE and private contractors including undocumented women being illegally sterilized while in U.S. ICE centers including federal contract facilities and children of undocumented parents placed in cages during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The Trump administration and ICE have systematically failed to reunite thousands of separated children with their deported or detained undocumented parents, which a federal judge has ruled for ICE to release and reunite the children with their undocumented parents.

According to commercialized mainstream media, COVID-19 is spreading and surging in ICE detention centers and federal/private prisons where undocumented immigrants are held.

Also neither Biden and Trump offered COVID-19 stimulus relief for undocumented taxpayers who have been suffering from the high rate of unemployment and business failure of no fault of their own including millions of unemployed U.S. workers and the failing small businesses throughout the nation, but due to the Coronavirus pandemic under Trump's mishandling of the COVID-19 surge and spread.

Biden called Trump, a liar, clown, a racist and to asked him  to "shut up" during Trump's bullying tactic during the debate to interrupt him while he was speaking. Trump also  said that he paid millions of dollars of taxes in 2016, when in fact he only paid $750 in taxes and $0 taxes for a decade due to claiming loses of business revenue, according to the NY Times. 

Biden and his Vice-presidential candidate Kamela Harris from the Democratic Presidential ticket released their income tax filings for 2019 earlier in the day before the debate. Trump has refused to release his income tax filings.

Before and after Poll results: CNN reporting Biden as the winner of the first debacle debate with 60% compared to Trump with 28%.

Tenorio Brothers, Both Suspects Of A Home Invasion Were Killed By Resident In Waukegan

Both the Tenorio brothers were killed during a home invasion.

By H. Nelson Goodson 

Hispanic News Network U.S.A.

September 24, 2020

Waukegan, Illinois - The Waukegan Police Department released the following press release in connection with the Tenorio brothers deaths during a home invasion. On September 22, 2020, the Waukegan Police Department's Criminal Investigations Division (CID) began an investigation into a Home Invasion/Double Homicide that occurred at a single-family home in the 100 block of Frolic Ave.

Based on the investigation, so far, CID Investigators believe that Christian Tenorio, 36, and Jimmy Tenorio, 34, both from Waukegan arrived at the single-family home on Frolic Ave., specifically, to confront a possible occupant of that home.  Christian and Jimmy are brothers.

CID believes that Christian and Jimmy arrived at the home and knocked on the door.  The door was answered by a female victim, in her 30s, who rents the home.  Christian and Jimmy then forced their way into the home.  Christian, at this point, displayed a loaded revolver handgun.

The female victim began to yell for help.  A male victim, in his 30s, who rents the basement, heard the commotion and went upstairs with a loaded semi-automatic pistol.  The male victim then confronts the Tenorio brothers and shoots Christian.  

At this point, Jimmy retrieved the loaded revolver handgun and began to drag Christian out of the home.  The male victim retreated and then returned with a loaded assault style rifle.  The male victim and Jimmy exchange gunfire.  

Both brothers were pronounced dead on the scene, by apparent gunfire, in the front yard of the home.  

The female victim and male victim both have valid FOID cards.  Neither Tenorio possessed a valid FOID.

During the incident, the female victim was babysitting a small toddler.  The toddler was not injured.  The female victim was also dog sitting a small 3-pound dog.  The dog ran out during the incident, but has been returned unharmed.  Neither victims were injured.  There is a third roommate at the home, however that roommate was not home during the incident.         

CID has determined that the single-family home was the intended target of the incident.  However, both victims and the third roommate, from the home, do not know why the brothers would target the home.

CID is not releasing the number of rounds exchanged during this incident.  It is being classified as, "multiple".  

       

CID is still investigating and the case is considered open and active.  Once the investigation has been completed, it will be presented to the Lake County Illinois State's Attorney's Office for review.

Facebook Disabled H. Nelson Goodson's Personal Account For No Just Cause, Hispanic Activist In Milwaukee Claims Mark Zuckerberg And FB Administration Are Trump MAGA Friendly, Time To Boycott FB

Zuckerberg and its Trump MAGA (Make America Great Again/Keep America Great) influence administration are attempting to silence progressive Latinos on its Facebook social media platform in the U.S. ahead of the November 2020 election.

Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA)

September 21, 2020

Menlo Park, California - On September 17, 2020, Facebook (FB) administrators contacted H. Nelson Goodson, a Hispanic community activist, civil rights and immigrant rights journalist in Milwaukee, Wisconsin via email that his appeal was reviewed and a decision to disable his personal FB account was initiated and final. For one thing, Goodson never filed or send in an appeal about his account simply because he was never contacted that he had violated FB's Community Standards or any of its policies.

Goodson said that on September 15, he noticed that he could not post anything on his H Nelson Goodson personal FB account after a message post that pop up indicated that FB was doing a identity confirmation of his account for security purposes since, he gets a lot of traffic and thousands of Worldwide FB users follow his postings on multiple FB pages including  the popular Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) FB page that he administrates as well.

Goodson has multiple internet news blogs and websites where anyone can get access to read alternative news that the commercialized and advertising controlled mainstream media fails to report at times in order to avoid  losing advertising dollars.

Goodson just celebrated more than 37 years in Journalism and being an investigative reporter in the U.S.

On Goodson's personal FB account, he has had numerous social media links connected, which definitely confirms his actual identity, but the MAGA influenced FB administrators ignored its content and links.

Goodson was asked by FB to download a government issued ID, whether a State ID or a Passport ID on FB to confirm his identity. Goodson downloaded his U.S. Passport ID card proving who he was and is a U.S. Citizen as well. Since, FB is a private corporation or company and not a government agency, Goodson red acted some vital information on his U.S. Passport ID that included the ID card number, but kept his partial name on the ID as it appears on FB to prevent identity theft due to FB keeping and storing the ID, which FB has a history of getting its users information compromised by hackers, which have stolen and exposed users account info.

To date, FB nor Zuckerberg have contacted Goodson to explain why did they disabled his personal account without due process or just cause, but what can anyone expect from a private corporation including Zuckerberg who supports Trump and is considered a Trump MAGA supporter as well that doesn't hold Trump accountable for posting and buying ads with false information indicating that Zuckerberg values making a profit more than enforcing his FB's own Community Standards about using FB to promote false information for political purposes, advocating hate and devision in Trump's White Nationalist Amerikkka today. What can FB users expect when Zuckerberg has even hired former MAGA FOX News employees to manage FB's news content.

Latino MAGAs in Wisconsin on August 2019 created a FB fake MAGA Hispanic News Network USA page mimicking the actual HNNUSA administered by Goodson to promote Nazi propaganda and hate towards members of the Hispanic community in Milwaukee and around the state. Goodson and other FB users reported it to FB, including that the MAGA fake FB page had its link connected directly to the Trump's reelection campaign donation website, and so far, FB has not disabled it or deleted to date indicating the double standards used by FB under Zuckerberg.

Multiple former FB employees have come out public and exposed Zuckerberg's double standards and his lack of enforcement to hold Trump accountable for buying millions of dollars of false Trump campaign advertising on FB.

Today, Zuckerberg doesn't believe that FB should be an arbitrator for truth, according to an interview.

The question remains, why was Goodson's personal FB account disabled and targeted by Zuckerberg's FB MAGA influence and its administrators?

Feel free to contact FB and asked them why was Goodson's personal FB account disabled? Goodson would also like to know as well.

Also, it's time that FB users to actually Boycott Facebook for its use of fake news and Trump advertising double standards and not having an actual FB user friendly due process to appeal its decisions including its Trump MAGA influence in their management administration!

In the second quarter of 2020, FB made $18.7B, while more than 1,000 companies (advertisers) boycotted FB during the #StopHateForProfit organized by civil rights groups that urged companies to stop paying for ads on Facebook in July to protest the platform’s handling of hate speech and misinformation. It cost FB nearly $1B in advertising loss during the stop the hate for profit boycott in 2020.

Update: A federal lawsuit was filed in the federal court of the Eastern District of Wisconsin Tuesday, September 22, 2020 alleging that Facebook failed to delete two pages - the Kenosha Guard and the Boogaloo Bois - in time before allegedly racist and hateful content on their pages led dozens of armed people to Kenosha, including Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old from Antioc, Illinois who killed two BLM protesters and wounded a third, TMJ News reported.

English kept his composure, but later decided to exposed the incident in his Facebook (FB) account in which he called multiple security guards as "acting like thugs looking to make trouble for any non-White person they see. As you can imagine they didn't say anything to multiple White folks that passed by."

English says that one of them (the one in the far left in the photo) had approached him while he was in his vehicle and tried to alleged that English was trying to hit him with the vehicle, which English denied.

English was able to contact (tagged) Alderman José Perez on FB and others were able to get the info out and the business, Sherman-Associates, a Minneapolis real estate developer in the Third Ward District who had a contract with CPS released a press release on Monday confirming that they condemned the racist statements made by the security guard and had terminated the contract with CPS.

According to CPS's FB account, they have a partnership between their Security Firm and the Milwaukee Police Department under Operation Impact to combat the issues of pan-handling, drug dealing and prostitution, that are plaguing area businesses. Which in some cases, complaints by Southside citizens have increased due to their tactics and practices used in public.
