MAGA Waukesha County Sheriff Eric Severson Won't Remove Deputy Joseph Mensah From Duty After Milwaukee County Judge Found Probable Cause To Charge Him For Jay Anderson's Homicide In Wauwatosa

Waukesha County Sheriff Severson, a known Trump supporter announced that he won't remove Deputy Sheriff Detective Mensah from duty pending criminal charges for the homicide of Jay Anderson Jr.'s homicide on June 2016.

July 29, 2021

Waukesha, Wisconsin - On Thursday, MAGA Waukesha County Sheriff Eric Severson announced that he won't remove nor suspend Waukesha County Sheriff Deputy Detective Joseph Mensah, 32, from duty pending the outcome of a homicide case connected to the murder of Jay Anderson Jr., 25, on June 2016 at the Wauwatosa Madison Park during an after-hours loitering violation.

Last Wednesday, Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Glen H. Yamahiro found probable cause to criminally charge Mensah, a current Waukesha County Sheriff's deputy and former Wauwatosa police officer with a homicide charge for the Anderson murder in Wauwatosa.

Judge Yamahiro indicated that Mensah failed to deescalate the situation, didn't wait for backup, which was on the way and didn't used other options to avoid killing Anderson.

A special prosecutor will be assigned within the next 60 days to charge Mensah with a felony homicide charge.

According to the Milwaukee Police Department investigation, then Wauwatosa Police Officer Mensah went to Madison Park in regards to an after-hour loitering violation. Mensah who wasn't wearing a body video camera at the time claimed that Anderson reached for a handgun next to him and that he feared for his life and fired multiple shots striking Anderson five times in the head and another shot in the upper right shoulder. The police investigation result indicated that Mensah was justified in Anderson's homicide, according to the Milwaukee Police investigation report.

An independent investigation by former U.S. Attorney Steven Biskupic who was hired by the Wauwatosa Police and Fire Commission in July 2020 indicated that Mensah would most likely offend again. Biskupic wrote in the report that Mensah should be fired and that the risk he might shoot a fourth person is to great.

Mensah was also declared justified in the shooting deaths of Alvin Cole, 17, on February 2, 2020 at the Mayfair Mall parking lot and Antonio Gonzales, 29, on July 2015 for wielding a decorative sword.

Bernie Gonzalez, President of the SOPHIA Board of Directors on Thursday released the following statement, 
"SOPHIA demands that, at the very least, Deputy Mensah be suspended from the Waukesha Sheriff's Department while these charges are proceeding. The hiring of Mensah originally sent a chilling message, especially to African-American residents of Waukesha County.  To keep him in the Sheriff's department, allowing him to wear a uniform and carry a firearm in our community would not just be tone deaf, but a gesture of contempt for people of color who live in our County or who pass by on our roadways."

Jose De Jesus Juarez Delgado, A Known Undocumented Construction Scammer Booked For Felony Fraud And Released On A $3K Signature Bail Bond In Waukesha County

Undocumented Juarez Delgado who allegedly committed felony fraud by using a previously dissolved construction LLC company in Wisconsin when he signed a contract to repair a private driveway in the City of Waukesha turned himself for booking identity process on Monday, according to the Waukesha County District Attorney's Office.

By H. Nelson Goodson 
Hispanic News Network U.S.A.

July 26, 2021

Waukesha, Wisconsin - On Monday, Jose de Jesus Juarez Delgado, 33, turned himself for identity booking process at the Criminal Traffic Division (CTD) in Waukesha County to sign a $3,000 signature bail bond. Juarez Delgado was also ordered on July 26, 2021 during a virtual Zoom court hearing at 1:28p.m. (indicating he was in custody) not to use RJ Design and Construction, LLC, or any other company unless he has a legitimate license and insurance. An active warrant was vacated at the time of the virtual hearing. 

As of early afternoon, the Waukesha County Sheriff's Office jail inmate roster listed that Juarez Delgado was in jail for identity booking process, but was later released on a signature bond.

His current address hasn't been updated on the Waukesha County court records yet.

The Waukesha County District Attorney's Office filed a one felony count criminal charge on March 11, 2021 against Juarez Delgado for theft-movable property charges of at least $5,000. A felony warrant was issued including a $3,000 cash bail was set for Juarez Delgado on April 20, 2021. The suspect who is undocumented and doesn't have a valid driver's license (license previously suspended) was being sought by authorities.

If convicted on the felony count, Juarez Delgado is facing up to 3 years and six months in prison and up to $10,000 in fines. 

Which according to federal immigration laws (I.N.A. § 237), a felony conviction can be subject for deportation proceedings, if the suspect is illegally (undocumented) in the U.S. If a person is legally in the U.S.,  but not a U.S. Citizen and is convicted of a state or federal felony, depending on the seriousness of the criminal conviction can automatically lead to the revocation of a Green card and subject for deportation proceedings. Also, if a person with a Green card is convicted of a state misdemeanor and sentenced up to a year in jail, even if the sentence is stayed (suspended), the person is subject for Green card revocation regardless of how many years he/her has been residing in the U.S. and would be subject for deportation proceedings unless a judge sentenced the person less than a year, which will not subject the person to deportation or revocation of a Green card under federal immigration laws.

Juarez Delgado, a Mexican national is originally from Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes, Mexico.

Juarez Delgado allegedly scammed a local Waukesha resident, Bernie Gonzalez into signing a private driveway repair contract under DBA Construction Solutions, LLC, a company name that was previously dissolved in 2017 and no longer existed in the state. Gonzalez paid Juarez Delgado at least $4,000 to do the driveway repairs, which the suspect never did.

Juarez Delgado used DBA Construction Solutions, LLC (dissolved in September 16, 2017) and was also order by the court on May 17, not to use RJ Design and Construction, LLC as well. He is allegedly known to hire crew employees to do construction work, but never pays them and has committed other alleged similar scams.

On August 8, 2017, the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD) filed a judgment against Juarez Delgado for $6,240.10 for not paying unemployment compensation for his workers.

On January 30, 2017, the Wisconsin Department of Revenue filed a tax warrant against Juarez Delgado for $14,639.84, which is still open. 

On October 29, 2014, the DWD also filed a judgment for $798.98, which still has an open penalty warrant against Juarez Delgado for workers compensation.

A virtual court hearing appearance for Juarez Delgado is scheduled for August 11, 2021 at 1:00p.m. in Waukesha.

The Waukesha County Sheriff's Office is the only law enforcement agency in the state that works under 287g as a partner with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to identify undocumented inmates that are processed at the jail, which Juarez Delgado's name will most likely be added to ICE's immigration enforcement list.

Trump Attempts To Tweet "Fake News" That The Milwaukee Bucks Won The NBA 2021 Championship, MAGA State Legislators In WI Call For Recount Of The Final 6 Scores

Trump has desperately attempted to tweet "Fake News" that the Milwaukee Bucks won the NBA 2021 Championship.

July 23, 2021

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - For the last few days, former U.S. President Donald J. Trump has attempted to tweet to no avail it's "Fake News" that the Milwaukee Bucks actually won the NBA Championship in the state and claims that the Bucks stole the NBA Championship, according to an inside source from the Office of President Trump, which also displays a fake presidential seal from Lala Land.

Trump apparently suffers from COVID-19 side effects, which causes memory elapse and hallucinations.

Trump (R/MAGA) wakes up every morning believing that he is still president and that his rival, newly elect President Joe Biden (D) is still living in the basement. Biden won by more than 7M votes in November 2020.

Also, the Wisconsin Republican/MAGA controlled legislature is convening in a special session next week to create a non-partisan committee in an attempt to initiate a recount of the NBA final 6 game scores.

A leaked conference call between the Trump family and White nationalist patriots indicated a conspiracy plan to call on MAGAs to march on the NBA's building and change the final 6 scores.

Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Yamahiro decided to remove the hate crime enhancer from a disorderly conduct misdemeanor charge against 65-year-old attorney Rapkin.

July 23, 2021

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Wednesday, Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Glen H. Yamahiro accepted the defense attorney's motion to strike the hate crime enhancer from count 1 and amended the misdemeanor disorderly conduct criminal complaint, which removed a hate crime enhancer charge against attorney Stephanie G. Rapkin.

In June 2020, Rapkin, then 64, was charged with one felony count for battery to a law enforcement officer and one count for misdemeanor of disorderly conduct with an enhancer of a hate crime in connection with the June 6th incident where Rapkin was video recorded as she intentionally spat at a Black student during a protest in Shorewood. Rapkin had parked her vehicle in a manner to intentionally block a peaceful protest "No Justice, No Peace" seeking justice for George Floyd from Minneapolis and other victims of color murdered by police from Milwaukee.  The protest was stopped by Rapkin's vehicle and couldn't temporarily continue through and when she was asked by protesters to move her vehicle, she spat at the face of Eric Lucas, 16, an African-American student.

Rapkin was later taken into custody and the next day, Rapkin shoved another person after she confronted protesters in the front public sidewalk of her house for drawing messages with chalk. When police went to arrest Rapkin at her home, she struck a Shorewood police officer in the groin with her knee.

If convicted, Rapkin is facing up to 9 months in jail and up to $1,000 in fines for misdemeanor disorderly conduct, and she is facing up to 6 years in prison and up to $10,000 in fines for felony battery to a law enforcement officer. Rapkin will also be disbarred.

Rapkin has a motion hearing on August 23, 2021.

Milwaukee Bucks NBA Championship Downtown Parade Set For Thurs., July 22, 2021 At 11:00a.m.

Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett advise to wear facemasks to prevent COVID-19 Delta spread, but failed to say bring your own drinking freshwater bottle to avoid lead poisoning.

July 21, 2021


Milwaukee,  WI - Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett announced a plan to hold a Milwaukee Bucks NBA Championship parade in downtown Thursday, July 22, 2021 and those who plan to attend to wear facemasks to prevent the spread of COVID-19 Delta, which has been on the rise in the last two weeks. City employees will be allowed to attend the Bucks parade.

The Bucks parade will begin at 11:00a.m. at the intersection of E. Wisconsin Avenue and N. Prospect Avenue. The parade will then proceed west on E. Wisconsin Avenue before turning north onto N. Water Street. From there, the route will continue on N. Water Street to E. Knapp Street before ending on E. Knapp Street at the Milwaukee River.

What Barrett didn't mention was that the City of Milwaukee has more than 70,000 toxic freshwater lead laterals connected to homes and businesses. Barrett failed to advise the Bucks fans that they should bring their own bottled water to drink as a safety precaution and avoid drinking Milwaukee water from a faucet.

Public drinking water faucets and bubblers in the City of Milwaukee are not publicly label as lead free from toxic lead lateral connection to the City water mains.

The City of Milwaukee is apparently removing 1,000 toxic lead laterals per year and it would take more than 70 years to finally remove all of the lead laterals. 

With a lack of the Milwaukee Department of Health services for those suffering from lead poisoning and the lack of lead testing, it is nearly impossible to detect the actual lead poisoning of young children in the City and the lead poisoning of adult generations within our City.

Milwaukee residents test at least 3.5 times higher for lead than the national average.

On July 16, 2021, the Freshwater for Life Action Coalition (FLAC), Get The Lead Out (GTLO) including, Robert Miranda, a community activist, The Black Panthers, The Milwaukee Brown Berets and Yellow Panthers were in Madison to call on Josh Kaul, the Wisconsin Attorney General to release an update of the current criminal investigation against City officials and the Milwaukee Department of Health for a lack of accountability and not providing adequate health services for those poisoned by lead in the City including the troubled lead program operated by the Health Department.

Also, last week at the Public Safety & Health Committee confirmed that an independent auditor reported that the Milwaukee  Department of Health did not implement plans, protocols, policy changes to improve the health department, indicating that Mayor Barrett had continued to lied about the City's lead program.

Lead poisoning has been linked to high crimes in cities that continue to use toxic lead laterals.

According to a June 16, 2016 memorandum from Kate Pawasarat, Community Analytics Analyst for the City of Milwaukee Department of Administration Budget and Management Division, she reported the following information. 

There are approximately 74,600 properties with lead service lines in the City of Milwaukee.

• Based on property assessment class information, 91.5% of properties with lead service lines are residential.

• Approximately 68,300 residential properties or 54.2% of all residential properties in the City of Milwaukee have lead service lines.

For over twenty years Milwaukee has added a phosphorous compound to its drinking water. The compound coats pipes to control lead corrosion, but recent concerns regarding heavy construction around the city has brought to light that this protective phosphorous compound is being loosened by the pounding of machines breaking apart sidewalks and streets in which many of these toxic lead pipes are located.

The following Milwaukee Southside Aldermanic Districts are among seven with the most toxic lead laterals in homes.

• Aldermanic District 15 - Alderman Tony Zielinski, toxic lead laterals in district 6,089

• Aldermanic District 12 - Alderman Josรฉ G. Pรฉrez, toxic lead laterals in district 5,585

• Aldermanic District 10 - Alderman Michael Murphy, toxic lead laterals in district 9,166

• Aldermanic District 8 - Alderman Bob Donovan, toxic lead laterals in district 6,361
Total toxic lead laterals located in Milwaukee's Southside 27,201

Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) has learned that Milwaukee residents in the City of Milwaukee can no longer be able to search for properties with lead pipe laterals by address since, the City link for freshwater lead laterals connected to residences and businesses has been disabled by the City.

Milwaukee surrounding suburbs with toxic lead laterals (Source: WISN):

• 90% of the homes in Shorewood

• 32% of homes in South Milwaukee

• 30% of homes in Cudahy

• 38% of homes (19K) in West Allis

• 65% of homes (15K) in Wauwatosa

Performance Cancelled In Milwaukee: Joe Lopez, A Texas Registered Child Sex Offender Was Among Tejano Entertainment Venue At Three-day Mexican Fiesta 2021 In Milwaukee

Mexican Fiesta 2021, billed as a family event in Milwaukee has canceled the performance of singer Joe Lopez, a convicted and registered child sexual assault offender from its Tejano music entertainment venue at Summerfest.

Updated

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - Entertainment organizers from the three-day Mexican Fiesta 2021 at Summerfest in late August in Milwaukee, announced in May that Joe Lopez y Grupo Mazz have been booked for the Fiesta this Summer, which is billed as a family event.

Mexican Fiesta is sponsored by the Wisconsin Hispanic Scholarship Foundation.

The Lopez performance was canceled shortly after Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) first reported it. But, Mexican Fiesta failed to publicly announce the cancelation at the time.

Lopez was convicted in 2006 for two felony counts of aggravated sexual assault (he was sentenced to 20-years on one count and 8-years in prison on the second count) and one felony count for indecent contact with a child age 13 (sentenced to 4-years in prison) and was sentenced to a total of 32 years in prison.

Lopez relaunched his Tejano singing career after being released on parole from a Texas prison after serving 11 years and 6-months from a 32-year sentenced and recently caused a community backlash in Fort Worth after it was announced that he was scheduled to perform at Billy Bob's Texas entertainment concert venue, which was afterwards canceled last week.

In Fort Worth, Texas: The Billy Bob's Texas announced on Social Media last Tuesday, July 13, 2021 that "The Joe Lopez y Grupo Mazz concert scheduled for September 18, 2021, has been canceled. Billy Bob's Texas remains committed to the citizens of Fort Worth and will continue to take the feedback and concerns of our community seriously."

The Tejano Nation dot net reported on Thursday that "concerns over the performance deal with Lopez, who is a convicted sex offender that was paroled in March 2018 after he served 12 years of his 20-year prison sentence for multiple sex offenses involving his 13-year-old niece in 2004. The 70-year-old singer has always maintained his innocence and is working towards exoneration." 

But his niece, Krystal Lopez gave birth to Lopez's child after the sexual assault. Krystal opposed his early release. https://youtu.be/Fu9lnwPS2wg


Update: Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) has learned on Monday, that Gregorio Montoto from the Wisconsin Hispanic Scholarship Foundation confirmed that the Joe Lopez y Grupo Mazz performance was canceled after learning Lopez's was a registered child sex offender. The Lopez performance was canceled about a month ago, but Mexican Fiesta failed to announce it earlier.

In Toledo, Ohio: Joe Lopez y Grupo MAZZ is scheduled to perform Sunday, August 29, 2021 at the 3-day Midwest Tejano y Mexicano Fest in Toledo, Ohio at the Stranahan Theater grounds. The 3-day outdoor festival in Toledo is scheduled for August 27-29, 2021, the same weekend as the projected 3-day Mexican Fiesta at the Summerfest grounds in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Also on Friday,  August 27, 2021, Joe Lopez y Grupo Mazz is scheduled to perform at the Paris Banquet Hall in North Chicago, Illinois, according to Mario Roxx Garcia, an entertainment promoter who recently posted the dance performance on his Facebook account.
