Jose Serrano, Owner Of Evolución Latina Dance Company In Chicago, Resigned After Dancer Claire Rebecca From Minneapolis Alleged Abused Behavior, Coerce Sexual Encounter Leading To Suicidal Tendencies

Serrano recently resigned as the owner of Evolución Latina Dance Company In Chicago shortly after a dancer from Minneapolis posted in her Facebook account in three parts that she had experienced abuse, coerce sexual encounters that led to suicidal tendencies.

March 27, 2025

Chicago, Illinois - On Saturday, the Evolución Latina Dance Company in Chicago announced that Jose Serrano, its owner had resigned from the company after Claire Rebecca, a popular dancer from Minneapolis, Minnesota posted on her Facebook (FB) account in three part posts that she had been abused, coerce to have sexual encounters with Serrano leading to suicidal tendencies. 


Serrano has not released a statement in regards to Rebecca's allegations. Rebecca on part 1 wrote, "I was abused and groomed by Jose Serrano. Over a period of years...I joined Evolución Latina Minneapolis and eventually became the first captain...Soon he controlled my personal and financial decisions as well." Serrano is married, but apparently coerced Rebecca to have sexual encounters with him periodically.

On FB part 2, Serrano began to frequently contact her and to flirt with her, and he told her that his wife could never know. "Eventually, he coerced me into sleeping with him and then told me I could never tell anyone, even my future husband," Rebecca wrote.

She says that he would abuse her to the point of having "severe suicidal thoughts and almost acted on them. If my mother hadn't called I don't know if I'd be here today."

Rebecca also claimed, that during time with Evolución, she was sexually assaulted by Douglas Ortiz, Serrano's best friend.

She finally escaped from Serrano's frequent abuse by leaving the dance company.

Rebecca's FB posts has drawn hundreds of comments including that she is another victim of sexual assault in the Latin Dance Community.

Also, James Carlson, President & CEO Of Premier Latino Events LLC from Saint Paul, Minnesota on Friday confirmed that his dance company "will no longer host, collaborate with, or engage in any partnership with ELDC or it's affiliates Evolución Latina Minneapolis, as long as the organization remains under the leadership of Jose Serrano." The local ELDC will be provided guidance to the leadership and dancers as they navigate their transition away from Serrano, according to Carlson.

The Chicago Salsa & Bachata Festival 2025 (CSBF - Island Touch Events) has also announced that they have decided to disassociate themselves from Serrano and Ortiz for the upcoming CSBF event in April 2025. CSBF statements regarding Jose Serrano and Douglas Ortiz https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1AHTD6S8os/ & regarding  Marcos Ramos-Garcia https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1YQEB8ac5G/ & CSBF video response to current concerns and allegations raised https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1DVNfhtUBm/

According to a FB post by Zumba Alegre, the CSBF is not doing enough for the victims of abuse behavior by a predator cesspool. Alegre says that Marcos Ramos-Garcia, aka, DJ BachaTito, the registered agent for Lucky 7 Promotions LLC from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the co-organizer of the CSBF "has been called by women for inappropriate advances" and has been ignored by CSBF organizers. The CSBF holds events in Chicago, but none of the organizers are from Chicago, Alegre alleged.

On Wednesday, the Denver Salsa Bachata Zouk/Kizomba Congress announced that it had terminated its contract and association with Zeke Ruvalcaba and Marcos Ramos-Garcia for the current convention and all future events in light of the recently surfaced allegations of sexual harassment, effective immediately. (https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1B4uZQ4P7j/)

Kevin Avila on Wednesday,  in his FB account wrote that Ruvalcaba allegedly sexually assaulted two individuals in 2022, and yet CSBF continued to employ him. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1KasQD4HYh/

Marcos Eduardo Raygoza posted his alleged sexual assault by Zeke Ruvalcaba at the CSBF in 2022 when he was 18 at the following Instagram link: https://www.instagram.com/p/DHmhkRWuqhF/?igsh=cWNnNDJvamU4eWN4

Also, that CSBF had known for the last two years that Ramos-Garcia had been accused of alleged sexual misconduct, and Ramos-Garcia had filed a civil lawsuit in Milwaukee County against a female defendant for making the allegation, but Ramos-Garcia later dropped the lawsuit in February 2024.

The following FB post comment allegation was made by Lysandraliz Santos (Ramos-Garcia's ex-girlfriend) in Rebecca's 3 part in the comment thread section four days ago.

"I went through the same thing…..it started when I was 17 and finished at 21. Do they still hire him as a DJ and to teach yes! Do people know he’s a predator probably yes! My abuser is Marcos Ramos Garcia. He tried suing my friend because she exposed the truth. And he pulled out the case because he couldn’t prove himself innocent. STOP SUPPORTING THESE MANIPULATIVE RAPIST AS HEADLINERS."

Ramos-Garcia has never been charged for sexual assault or sexual misconduct in Wisconsin or Illinois.

The Re Ba Dance Company on Wednesday announced that it was redrawing participation at the CSBF 2025 due to recent allegations of abuse and sexual misconduct involving Serrano, Ruvalcaba, Ortiz, Ramos-Garcia and Rudi Lopez. (https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1LnhaEnRMR/)

Those individuals named above have not made any public statements regarding the allegations against them.

Rebecca's claim of experiencing abuse behavior by Serrano, including coerce sexual encounters leading to suicidal tendencies has brought attention to the alleged acts by some so called predators (individuals) that prey on unsuspecting and vulnerable victims attracted to the Latin dance community in the tri-states of Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota.


Editor's note: It seems that Rebecca's three part Facebook post has opened the Pandora Box in the Latin dance community.

Joseph Cuervo also posted in the comment thread in Rebecca's part 3 that Luis Loredo from Dallas, Texas was outed by Victoria Peña (also a victim of abuse) who allegedly exposed another FB post dated February 18, 2023 by Xavier Haskin, which wrote that Loredo had at least 16 women (victims) who alleged that Loredo either assaulted, sexually assaulted or experienced sexual harassment from him, including  Alicia Lore who made her story public in social media. (https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16118VBF26/)

Another alleged coercive sexual abuse incident, Felipe Martinez posted on Rebecca's 3 part FB post comments, a FB post link by Madison Gutierrez dated March 11, 2020 regarding a dance instructor named Gabriel Romero at Allegro from the San Francisco Bay area in California who had allegedly impregnated one of his student team dancers and had her get an abortion while he was having another sexual relationship at the time with another dancer from the same dance team. Both student dancers (victims) came forward and identified themselves in the comment thread and confirmed what had happened. (https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16LdXCB58v/)

Andres Meneses, the CEO from Latin Street Music & Dancing announced that Serrano "will no longer rent studios at Latin Music" in Chicago. (https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1AGKxPbQ3Q/)

On March 29, 2025, a letter of Cease and Desist Demand for Defamation Against M&A DanceLab Studio and Alejandro Awuro was sent to Douglas Ortiz, aka, DJ Dougy Fresh of Miami Dance District who has been making false allegations against Awuro, if Ortiz fails to stop, a lawsuit will be filed against him by Awuro. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19S9V8XVnY/

Latino Activist, Civil Rights, Voting Rights And Immigration Attorney Narciso L. Aleman Passed Away In Milwaukee

Aleman, at a young age was a migrant farmworker who later became an attorney that advocated for Civil Rights, Voting Rights and helped address immigration issues in the Latino community.

March 25, 2025

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Sunday evening, March 16, 2025, Narciso L. Aleman, 78, passed away at Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee, according to an obituary posted by Cremation Society of Milwaukee. The obituary says, that Aleman died after a series of illnesses and complications resulting from diabetes and heart disease. Born November 25, 1946, in Edcouch, Texas, Aleman was one of nine children born to Alfredo and Teresa Aleman.

Raised as a migrant farmworker, Aleman came of age during the Chicano Movement that activated many U.S.-born Mexicans and their allies. Over the course of his life, he was involved with the social justice movement across the country, participating in the work of the Crusade for Justice in Denver, Colorado, the National La Raza Unida Party, the Texas Farmworker's Union, the Student Non-Violent Organizing Committee, United Bronx Parents, the Latin American Union for Civil Rights and Esperanza Unida, both in Milwaukee, the Wisconsin Migrant Council, and the National Council of La Raza.

Aleman was an activist and a scholar dedicated to lifelong learning. He helped form and was the President of the first Chicano college in the nation, Colegio Jacinto Trevino in Mercedes, Texas. He received a master's degree in education from Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, where Professor Thomas J. Porter mentored him. He went on to earn a Law Degree (1983) from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a Ph.D. (1994) in Educational Policy and Administration from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, with combined studies at the Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs.

Dedicated to both law and education, Aleman was actively engaged in both disciplines throughout his adult life. In private practice he focused on issues from redistricting and voting rights, to civil rights complaints, and immigration. He and Attorney Richard "Rick" Congdon of Waukesha filed the 1984 redistricting case Vincent K. Knox, Juan Mireles, et.al v. Milwaukee County Board of Elections Commissioners, representing the plaintiffs who challenged the County's redrawn voting maps on the grounds they severely limited the opportunity for representation by African Americans and Latinos on the Milwaukee County Board. As a result of the lawsuit, the County redrew the maps.

Later he would serve Milwaukee County as an assistant district attorney and eventually established his own immigration law practice.

After becoming engaged in restorative justice theory and practice, Aleman served as a mediator for the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction through Marquette University, handling special education mediations, under the direction of Professor Eva Soeka. He also served as a mediator in clergy abuse cases between the victims of priest abuse and Milwaukee Archdiocese, as part of the Marquette University Restorative Justice Program.

As an educator, Aleman worked with countless numbers of students across the country, teaching at the University of Utah-Salt Lake City, the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, Arizona State University-Tempe, and the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. While living in the D.C. area and working with the Arnulfo Chapa Immigration Law Office, he taught at the Montgomery County Vocational College, and the Virginia Technical College.

Aleman retired from legal practice in 2018 as the Senior Attorney for Casa Las Americas Immigration Solutions in Pharr, Texas, which he operated with assistance from Tila Luna, his immensely talented office manager.

Aleman will be greatly missed in Milwaukee including Wisconsin and Texas. 

Funeral services will be private, as requested by Aleman.

Elon Musk Offers $100 For Wisconsin Voters That Sign Petition Opposing Activist Judges, Sounds Like Waukesha County Republican Activist State Supreme Court Candidate Brad Schimel Is Also Targeted

The American PAC dot org funded by Musk is offering $100 to Wisconsin voters to oppose activist judges, which also includes Republican and Conservative activist judges who legislate from the bench in Waukesha County and don't abide by WI Court of Appeals rulings and don't follow the state laws regarding domestic abuse divorce cases involving children.

Match 22, 2025

Wisconsin - Elon Musk is offering $100 for Wisconsin voters to sign a petition by the American PAC dot org funded by Musk opposing activist judges, does that mean Musk also opposes Republican and Conservative activist judges too, who legislate from the bench, especially from the Waukesha County family court that don't abide by WI Court of Appeals rulings and don't follow the law?

Example: The Julie Valadez v. Ricardo Valadez divorce case in Waukesha County  http://hispanicnewsnetwork.blogspot.com/2023/02/frivolous-felony-charges-and-warrant.html

The Musk/American PAC dot org petition says, Judges should interpret laws as written, not rewrite them to fit their personal or political agendas.

By signing below, I'm rejecting the actions of activist judges who impose their own views and demanding a judiciary that respects its role—interpreting, not legislating. Judges should interpret laws as written, not rewrite them to fit their personal or political agendas, says the Musk/American PAC petition.

To be fair, it allegedly sounds like Waukesha County Republican activist State Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel Is also targeted by the Musk/American PAC.

41-year-old Fernando Bustos, Out On A $750 Cash Bail, Charged With Video Recording Female Students While Semi-nude At Cristo Rey Jesuit High School Locker Room In Milwaukee

Bustos was ordered to report to the Milwaukee County jail on March 13 to be processed for one felony count of invading privacy by use of surveillance device.

Hispanic News Network U.S.A.

March 10, 2025

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.

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


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.

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

Bustos should face additional felony charges for each female student that was victimized.

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.

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.

MKE County Brady List Doesn't Include Alexander C. Ayala's Name For Previously Getting Fired From MPD In 2007, For Not Disclosing His Brother's Illegal Status Who Became A Milwaukee Police Officer Assigned To District 2

The latest Milwaukee County Brady List released by WTJ4 News doesn't include the name of then Milwaukee Police Officer Ayala, who in 2007 was fired from the department for lying about his undocumented brother's illegal status who was also hired as a Milwaukee Police officer using his deceased cousin's name,  who was a U.S. citizen.

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.


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 also the Vice-President of the Milwaukee Police Association, before becoming president of the police union.

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 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.
