Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Wednesday, July 1, 2026, during a 90° degree heat wave, a ICE Out of Milwaukee rally was held at the Milwaukee County Kosciuszko Park and then anti-USICE protesters marched in the Southside of Milwaukee in Wisconsin. A surge of USICE abductions in the predominately Latino community has drawn concern in the community.

More than 39 individuals have been arrested in Wisconsin by USICE since, June 25, 2026, according to USDHS. USDHS says that most of those individuals arrested by USICE have criminal records, but local immigrant rights groups says, that most of those abducted by USICE have no criminal record.

USDHS reported that over the weekend in late June 2026, at least 10,000 arrests were made nationally, with 2,400 per day by USICE agents.

MAGA Gestapo USICE agents are known masked criminals, corrupt and conduct elicit immigration enforcement operations under the guise of lawful pretenses, which in many cases have proven to be illegal in federal court cases.

The City of Milwaukee previously passed a no mask ordinance by USICE and its federal law enforcement partners while conducting immigration enforcement operations in the City. Mask violation penalty is between $5,000 and $10,000 in fines. Currently, the Milwaukee Police Department has failed to enforce the City law.

USICE agents hide their faces while engaging in elicit immigration enforcement under the guise of lawful activity so, people can't identify them. They also don't wear any identifying large visible numbers in their body armor and they usually don't identify themselves when doing traffic stops or carry any identification. Agents also drive vehicles without visible license plates, which is illegal in Wisconsin and neighboring states.

A U.S. Department of Homeland Security spokesperson has told TMJ4 News that the agency will not comply with Milwaukee's face mask ban, citing safety reasons.

"State and local sanctuary politicians attempting to ban our federal law enforcement from wearing masks is despicable and a flagrant attempt to endanger our officers. To be crystal clear: we will not abide by unconstitutional bans. The Supremacy Clause makes it clear that state and local sanctuary politicians do not control federal law enforcement," the DHS spokesperson said.

If USICE and USDHS are violating Constitutional law, then State laws take precedent.

USICE agents and its federal law enforcement partners should abide by national police standards of not wearing face masks while conducting immigration enforcement operations in public and should identify themselves as well. 

The rally and march on Thursday was sponsored by Milwaukee Alliance Against Racist & Political Repression and allies.

6 Latino Men Evicted From Duplex By Milwaukee County Sheriff Deputies Without Presenting Judicial Eviction Documents In The Southside Of Milwaukee

6 Latino men were left without a place to stay after they were evicted without prior notice from a duplex located in the Southside of Milwaukee.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Thursday, the Milwaukee County Sheriff deputies executed an eviction at a duplex located at 2818 W. Forest Home Ave. in the Southside of Milwaukee, which left 6 Latino men without a place to stay. According to Uriel López-Luz, who says that he owns the duplex, that he didn't received any prior noticed by the City of Milwaukee to vacate the building. The City of Milwaukee had taken over the property on November 2024. López-Luz told Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) that on October 2024, he went to City Hall to pay more than $28,000 of alleged deliquent taxes, but the City refused to take his payment or make arrangements to pay. Ever since, he has been challenging the City for taking over his property due to alleged delinquent taxes. (Video: https://youtu.be/6uu2QaIyG6k)

HNNUSA located the Order for Judgement that the City of Milwaukee posted in their website showing that the City Rem tax foreclosed on 270 parcels (properties) including the 264 parcel 2818 - 2820 W. Forest Home Ave. listed on page 14 document (case# 2024CV005730) that was electronically signed by Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge David Borowski on November 18, 2024 allowing the City to own 270 tax deliquent properties. The Order for Judgement indicated that no one attempted to redeem their tax deliquent properties by September 2024, but according to López-Luz, he attempted multiple times to pay his deliquent properties taxes, however the City Treasurer's Office wouldn't take his tax deliquent payments.

The tax liens list that included property Parcel 264 (2818 - 2820 W. Forest Home Ave.) was filed under case # 2024CV005730 in the Milwaukee County Circuit Court by the City of Milwaukee on July 17, 2024, City of Milwaukee vs Tax Liens for 2024 Part 3, according to Milwaukee County court records.

López-Luz told HNNUSA that he previously contacted Alderperson JoCasta Zamarripa's Aldermanic District 8 Office in regards to his property issue with the City, but Zamarripa never responded to his concerns regarding the unusual activity by the City not to accept payment for the parcel 264 (property) that went through a tax  lien foreclosure in July 2024.

In April 20, 2026, the City of Milwaukee and the City Department of Development  filed a small claims - eviction case# 2026SC010375 against López-Luz.

On the court hearing dated May 19, 2026, Attorney Joseph M. Dobbs was in court for City of Milwaukee c/o Dept. of City Development.  Attorney Joseph Seifert for Uriel Lopez Luz in court. Defendant Uriel Lopez Luz in court. Interpreter Christina Green in court. 

1st cause GRANTED - Judgment for plaintiff for restitution of premises.  Stay of writ of restitution ordered to 05/26/26. Rent and damages court hearing scheduled for August 25, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. in courtroom 400.

Milwaukee County court records on CCAP doesn't specifically indicate that an eviction against López-Luz was granted other than a judgement granted for the plaintiff for restitution of premises.

Also, the City tax property accessment website shows that the City of Milwaukee took ownership of the building on November 18, 2024 and doesn't provide a record of the prior history of ownership for the duplex (building).

The building at 2818 W. Forest Home Ave. in Milwaukee is valued at $164,600, according to City property records.

Several Milwaukee County deputies who were at the scene to serve the questionable eviction told HNNUSA that they didn't have any judicial legal documents (judge order) with them when asked for eviction documents approved by a county judge.

HNNUSA also asked a female City worker at the scene, if she had any legal judicial documents regarding Thursday's eviction and she replied that she didn't have any documents on her, which is unusual for a City employee to engage in an eviction including the deputies who also didn't have any legal judicial documents regarding the López-Luz eviction.

López-Luz also stated when he asked for legal judicial eviction documents from the deputies and the City worker, they told him they had no documents.

López-Luz and individuals living at the duplex had an hour to vacate the duplex.

An orange eviction notice by the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office was posted on the duplex front door including a sign saying that the property belongs to the City and prohibits any trespassing.

The question remains, why didn't the City Treasurer's Office accept tax deliquent payments from López-Luz in 2024?

Seis hombres latinos se quedaron sin alojamiento tras ser desalojados sin previo aviso de un dúplex situado en la zona sur de Milwaukee.

Por H. Nelson Goodson

Hispanic News Network U.S.A.

25 de junio de 2026

Milwaukee, Wisconsin – El jueves, agentes de la Oficina del Sheriff del Condado de Milwaukee llevaron a cabo un desalojo en un dúplex ubicado en el 2818 de W. Forest Home Ave., en la zona sur de Milwaukee, dejando a seis hombres latinos sin lugar donde alojarse. Según Uriel López-Luz, quien afirma ser el propietario del dúplex, no recibió ningún aviso previo por parte de la ciudad de Milwaukee para desocupar el edificio. La ciudad de Milwaukee había tomado posesión de la propiedad en noviembre de 2024. López-Luz declaró a Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) que, en octubre de 2024, acudió al Ayuntamiento para pagar más de $28,000 dólares en concepto de supuestos impuestos atrasados, pero la ciudad se negó a aceptar el pago o a establecer acuerdos de pago. Desde entonces, ha estado impugnando la decisión de la ciudad de apropiarse de su propiedad debido a dichos impuestos pendientes. (Video: https://youtu.be/6uu2QaIyG6k)

HNNUSA localizó la orden judicial publicada por la ciudad de Milwaukee en su sitio web, la cual indica que la ciudad ejecutó la ejecución hipotecaria fiscal sobre 270 parcelas (propiedades)—incluida la parcela 264 ubicada en el 2818-2820 de W. Forest Home Ave., que figura en la página 14 del documento (caso n.º 2024CV005730). Dicha orden, firmada electrónicamente el 18 de noviembre de 2024 por el juez David Borowski del Tribunal de Circuito del Condado de Milwaukee, autoriza a la ciudad a tomar posesión de estas 270 propiedades con impuestos impagados. Aunque la orden judicial señalaba que nadie había intentado recuperar sus propiedades con deudas fiscales antes de septiembre de 2024, López-Luz afirma haber intentado pagar los impuestos atrasados ​​en múltiples ocasiones; sin embargo, la Oficina del Tesorero de la ciudad se negó a aceptar los pagos correspondientes a dichas deudas.

Orden del juez: In-Rem-2024-3C---Order-for-Judgment.pdf https://share.google/dZsBzRxZYzPKTbsKR

La lista de gravámenes fiscales que incluía la parcela de propiedad n.º 264 (2818 - 2820 W. Forest Home Ave.) fue presentada por la Ciudad de Milwaukee el 17 de julio de 2024 ante el Tribunal de Circuito del Condado de Milwaukee bajo el número de caso 2024CV005730 (Ciudad de Milwaukee contra Gravámenes Fiscales de 2024, Parte 3), según los registros judiciales del Condado de Milwaukee.

López-Luz declaró a HNNUSA que anteriormente se había puesto en contacto con la oficina de la concejal JoCasta Zamarripa (del Distrito 8) en relación con el problema que tenía con la ciudad respecto a su propiedad; sin embargo, Zamarripa nunca respondió a sus inquietudes sobre la inusual negativa de la ciudad a aceptar el pago correspondiente a la parcela 264 (la propiedad), la cual había sido objeto de un procedimiento de ejecución hipotecaria por deudas fiscales en julio de 2024.

En la audiencia judicial del 19 de mayo de 2026, el abogado Joseph M. Dobbs compareció en representación de la Ciudad de Milwaukee (a/c del Departamento de Desarrollo Urbano). El abogado Joseph Seifert compareció en representación de Uriel López Luz. El demandado Uriel López Luz estuvo presente. La intérprete Christina Green estuvo presente.

Primera causa: APROBADA. Se dictó sentencia a favor de la parte demandante para la restitución del inmueble. Se ordenó la suspensión de la ejecución de la orden de restitución hasta el 26 de mayo de 2026.

La audiencia sobre alquileres y daños y perjuicios se programó para el 25 de agosto de 2026 a las 3:00 p.m..

Los registros judiciales del condado de Milwaukee en el sistema CCAP no indican específicamente que se haya autorizado un desalojo contra López-Luz, más allá de la sentencia dictada a favor de la parte demandante para la restitución del inmueble.

Asimismo, el sitio web de tasación de impuestos sobre la propiedad de la ciudad indica que la ciudad de Milwaukee asumió la titularidad del edificio el 18 de noviembre de 2024, pero no ofrece registros del historial de propiedad anterior de dicho dúplex.

El edificio ubicado en el 2818 de W. Forest Home Ave., en Milwaukee, está valorado en $164,600 dólares, según los registros de propiedad de la ciudad.

Varios agentes del condado de Milwaukee presentes en el lugar para llevar a cabo el cuestionable desalojo declararon a HNNUSA que no portaban documentación judicial (orden de un juez) cuando se les solicitó la documentación del desalojo aprobada por un juez del condado.

HNNUSA también preguntó a una empleada municipal presente en el lugar si disponía de documentos judiciales relativos al desalojo del jueves; ella respondió que no llevaba consigo ninguna documentación, lo cual resulta inusual para un empleado municipal que participa en un desalojo, al igual que en el caso de los ayudantes del sheriff, quienes tampoco contaban con documentos judiciales sobre el desalojo de López-Luz.

López-Luz también declaró que, al solicitar a los ayudantes del sheriff y a la empleada municipal la documentación judicial del desalojo, le informaron que no disponían de ningún documento.

López-Luz y las personas que residían en el dúplex dispusieron de una hora para desalojar la vivienda.

En la puerta principal del dúplex se colocó una notificación de desalojo de color naranja, emitida por la Oficina del Sheriff del Condado de Milwaukee, acompañada de un letrero que indicaba que la propiedad pertenece a la Ciudad y prohibía el acceso no autorizado.

Queda pendiente la pregunta: ¿por qué la Oficina del Tesorero Municipal no aceptó los pagos de impuestos atrasados ​​de López-Luz en 2024?

42-year-old Diana Socha Torres And Her 8-year-old Son From Colombia Taken Into Custody By USICE In Wisconsin Dells, Processed In Milwaukee And Then Transported To A Texas USICE Facility

June 23, 2026

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Tuesday, Voces de la Frontera and allies held an impromptu emergency press conference in front of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (USICE) facility at 310 E. Knapp Street in Milwaukee to confirm that Diana Socha Torres, 42, and her 8-year-old son who are asylum seekers from Colombia were taken into custody around 7:00 a.m. by the USICE on Tuesday morning on a immigration hold and deportation order for failing to attend a routine asylum court hearing. According to Christine Neumann-Ortiz, the executive director of Voces de la Frontera in Milwaukee, Socha Torres was wearing an ankle USICE monitor when she was taken into custody by immigration enforcement agents.

Socha Torres and her partner (Fred) have been together for 20 years, lived in Wisconsin Dells for three years, and she along with her son had applied for asylum two years ago. Sosha Torres claimed in her asylum application that she was fleeing from terrorism, violence and economic instability in Colombia.

According to Socha Torres, she never received any notification from USICE in regards to a scheduled assylum immigration court hearing, which USICE allegedly claimed that she failed to appear with her son.

Socha Torres's attorney apparently filed an appeal in her case in May 2026 after USICE entered (filed) a deportation order on April 27,  but USICE says, that they have no record filed for an appeal in their USICE system.

USICE processed both Socha Torres and her son detention in Milwaukee and was later transported to the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas, a USICE detention facility on Tuesday.

Socha Torres and her 8-year-old son are no longer in Wisconsin.

Texas USICE detention facilities are known to operate with illegal inhumane conditions that include unhealthy food and conditions in order to coerced undocumented detainees to voluntarily sign documents for self-deport. 

The detention immigration private prisons are operated by GEO Group and CoreCivic, also Akima Global Services under contracts with the federal government provide guard and security services at various USDHS and USICE detention centers and operations of facilities.

So far through June, 19 undocumented detainees have died while being held in USICE detention facilities in the country in 2026 compared to 33 deaths reported in 2025. Many of the reported deaths have been ruled as homicides. 

In June 2026, USDHS announced, that it will no longer report the deaths of former Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainees who pass away within 30 days of their release from federal custody, according  to CNN. But, USDHS will continue to report deaths that occur while an individual is physically inside a detention center, according to NBC News.

In January 2026, Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) reported that 84 undocumented immigrants were detained by USICE-CBP, according to the Worst of the Worst (WOW) website.

USDHS WOW website link https://www.dhs.gov/wow

For the State of Wisconsin in January 2026, it showed that more than 84 alleged undocumented individuals were being detained by USICE-CBP.

In Wisconsin, according to the WOW website, USICE has been operating in the following cities, towns and villages in Wisconsin.

The following data shows places in Wisconsin where USICE is active and the number of detainees arrested through January 2026.

Ashland (3), Hudson, River Falls, New Richmond, Baldwin, Woodinville, Sheboygan (3), Waukesha (4), Kenosha (6), Sturtevant (18), Racine (1), Wisconsin Rapids (1), Green Bay (1), Elkhorn (1), West Bend (1), Madison (1), Oxford (54), Milwaukee (8), Barron (1), White Water (1), Fond Du Lac (3), Wausau (2), Manitowoc (2), Baraboo (1), Superior (2), Appleton (1), Port Washington (1), Stanley (2), Eau Claire (1), Janesville (1) and Slinger (1).

Unconfirmed estimates by HNNUSA, indicate that in the last six months that more than 25 undocumented immigrants have been detained by USICE-CBP in Wisconsin. The number of undocumented immigrants detained in Wisconsin could be higher, since USICE doesn't report every arrest of undocumented immigrants in the state. Also, detainee's acquaintances or family members don't usually report that their relatives or friends have been detained by USICE.

So far, the State of Florida undocumented immigrant detention facility operated as Alligator Alcatraz has been closed, despite hundreds of undocumented immigrants that were held at the detention facility have disappeared without trace or record.

On Tuesday, a federal appeals court allowed the Trump administration to move forward with an effort to expand fast-track deportations throughout the U.S., in a legal win for the president's crackdown on illegal immigration.

The 2-1 decision by a panel of judges at the U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Columbia Circuit allows the Department of Homeland Security to carry out an expansion of the expedited removal process, which empowers federal immigration officials to deport some detainees without court hearings, CBS News reported.

Another federal judge has also prohibited USICE to detain individuals outside immigration court hearings.

The USICE Public Affairs Office released the following statement:

Diana Briyith Socha-Torres, an illegal alien from Colombia, illegally entered the United States via the southern border on August 6, 2024. Under the Biden Administration, she was RELEASED into the country, unvetted. On April 27, 2026, an immigration judge issued her a final order of removal due to her failure to show up to her mandatory immigration hearing. She chose to bring her child with her back to Colombia. They will remain together.

ICE does not separate families. Parents are asked if they want to be removed with their children or ICE will place the children with a safe person the parent designates. This is consistent with past administrations’ immigration enforcement.

Being in detention is a choice. Parents can take control of their departure with the CBP Home app and reserve the chance to come back the right legal way. The United States is offering illegal aliens $2,600 and a free flight to self-deport now. We encourage every person here illegally to take advantage of this offer and reserve the chance to come back to the U.S. the right legal way to live the American dream. If not, you will be arrested and deported without a chance to return.

MATC Public Budget Hearing Shows A $2.5M Deficit For FY 2027 Under President Anthony Cruz, Also, Mostly Part-time Instructors Will Operate Teaching System In 2027

Milwaukee Area Technical College Facing A $2.5M Deficit For 2027

Public Hearing Presentation Of Proposed MATC FY 2027 (June 16, 2026) Budget https://www.youtube.com/live/e7LHiCaU42U

• MATC deficit under Milwaukee Area Technical College President Dr. Anthony Cruz more than doubled from previous predecessor (former MATC President Vickie J. Martin) in 2023 with $1.1M to today under Dr. Cruz at $2.8M in 2026 to an expected deficit of $2.5M in fiscal year 2027.

• Student enrollment at MATC has declined, in several years in 2009-2010 to 2010-2011, MATC had nearly 15,000 full-time equivalent student (FTE) enrollment, compared to date in 2026, 9,200 FTE enrollment.

• A 2% student tuition increase for certificate degree and a 3% increase for an associate degree in 2027 has been approved 

• MATC has a current $80.7M outstanding debt through June 30, 2026

• MATC will operate in 2027 with mostly part-time instructors, according to the budget hearing.

• MATC will also target 108 employees, especially full-time instructors for early retirement or no contract renewal in order to offset the pending deficit for FY 2027

• Elimination of the Office of Multicultural Student Services, and unjustly terminating 4 student services specialists affecting Latino/Hispanic, African-American, Asian-American and Native-American students including communities without their imput, in order to comply with Trump's illegal and unconstitutional executive order eliminating Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) race related programs, which multiple federal courts have ruled it was unconstitutional.

• MATC facing multiple employees discrimination complaints with the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development Equal Rights Division.

• MATC administration under Dr. Cruz has proliferated its hostile work environment including the practice of harassment, discrimination and retaliation against employees and instructors that file complaints or just complain.

• MATC cutting employee wages, but are being forced to work more without wage compensation.

• MATC has an all White male administration who are paid excessive wages, for example, Dr. Cruz gets $285,000 in salary per year with extras perks, eventhough, he has more than doubled the MATC deficit, since 2024.

• MATC President Cruz has ignored the communities of color demands to restore the Office of Multicultural Student Services, and has also failed to provide any particular reason why he continues to ignore the communities of color requests who actually pay his salary.

• MATC Human Resources led by Laquitha “Elle” Bonds-Jones, the Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer under Dr. Cruz cut part-time employees hourly wages without their knowledge and also reduced their sick leave pay. Part-time employees had to be compensated back pay wages and earned sick leave fully pay restored. Also, Bonds-Jones was eventually caught altering MATC policies without the knowledge of the MATC Board of Trustees or the MATC Local 212 union. Dr. Cruz has declined to terminate Bonds-Jones for her alleged misdeeds at the technical college.

• Student enrollment stats intentionally inflated, despite student enrollment decline between 2025 to 2026, according to discovery made by MATC Board of Trustees who learned that misinformation was being provided to them at the April 28, 2026 Board meeting. Presentation by Phillip King, the Executive Vice-President and Provost showed an enrollment decline from 2025 to 2026, but enrollment stats were inaccurately inflated, which multiple MATC Board members criticized Phillip for providing inaccurate student enrollment stats. (MATC Board meeting video time at 2:20:00 minute to 2:50:00 minutes stamp)

• MATC Board of Trustees meeting for Tuesday, April 28, 2026, the first 42 minutes of the meeting were public comments by 11 instructors, students and the MATC Local 212 union regarding their concerns and issues they are facing at MATC under Dr. Cruz's administration, at link: https://www.youtube.com/live/--C91QsctXM

• In less than 2 years at MATC, Dr. Cruz has continuously shown lack of leadership including his lack of ability to resolve major plaguing issues at the technical college, which so far, the inept Board of Trustees have failed to take any action to hold Dr. Cruz accountable.

Annual Impromptu Puerto Rico Flag Cruising In the Southside Of Milwaukee Turned Chaotic By Street Takeovers Along W. Historic Mitchell Street, S. 14 And W. Forest Home Ave., According To Police

Multiple individuals were taken into custody and vehicles towed during the annual impromptu Puerto Rico flag cruising in the Southside of Milwaukee, which turned chaotic as usual, resulting in multiple illegal street takeovers.

Hispanic News Network U.S.A.

June 8, 2026

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Sunday, June 7, 2026, around 5:53 p.m. Milwaukee police began to close congested streets that were taken over by unruly drivers and pedestrians during the annual impromptu Puerto Rico flag cruising, which caused a chaotic scene that involved burnouts, traffic stops, police pursuits, public intoxication, individuals including men and women hanging out or seating on open vehicle windows and not wearing seatbelts as they drove down the street and a proliferation of reckless driving by vehicles and mini-bikes.

Also, a fight broke out at the 1200 block of W. Historic Mitchell Street between females while an individual in a sports bike was doing donuts and burnouts.

Multiple vehicles were stopped and towed, and multiple individuals were also taken into custody.

Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) was able to create a collage of Facebook screenshots that media and users posted on social media to see the melee and chaotic street takeovers by individuals displaying the Puerto Rico flag on their vehicles or in their person.

Many of those involved say, that they were just celebrating their culture, but the Puerto Rican culture doesn't have a history of individuals disrespecting their national pride by engaging in lawless and chaotic behavior causing havoc in our predominately Latino community.

In prior years, impromptu Puerto Rico flag cruising had resulted in killings and shootings involving members of the Puerto Rican community.

On Sunday, the Fiesta Puerto Rico 2026 took place at Humboldt Park without any incidents reported by police. The difference between the impromptu Puerto Rico flag cruising and the Fiesta Puerto Rico 2026 is that Fiesta Puerto Rico had a permit to operate legally with security and a safe environment, which the impromptu Puerto Rico flag cruising is unorganized and can very quickly turn chaotic making unsafe for the spectators including  children at the scene.

So far, police haven't reported, if anyone had been shot by W. Historic Mitchell Street, but it's the first time that HNNUSA noticed a Milwaukee police officer carrying an assault rifle at S. 14 Street and W. Forest Home Ave. By the Burger King parking lot.

Did Puerto Ricans posed a threat to Milwaukee police officers, that an officer had to display an assault rifle?

According to police, they were able to finally clear major congested traffic blockages in the Southside and civilian crowds from the W. Historic Mitchell Street area from S. 7 to S. 16 Streets extending from W. Lapham Blvd., W. Forest Home Ave. and to W. Burnham Street by 10:00 p.m. on Sunday night.

Update: According to spectators who want to stay anonymous, police detained one individual driving a black vehicle who was accelerating inside the Burger King parking lot at the 1400 block of W. Forest Home  Ave., and a second man wearing a blue shirt who was recording the arrest. The second man told police officers that they were violating the driver's rights, but police immediately took the man wearing a blue shirt into custody and handcuffed him. The man also suffered an injury to his mouth and lip that caused him to bleed, according to spectators at the scene. Some of the spectators say, that no one at the scene were aggressive against the police and no one was a threat to police, for a Milwaukee police officer to be carrying an assault rifle in the Burger King parking lot. 

Milwaukee police from the 2nd Milwaukee Police District Station hasn't released any information to justify an officer carrying an assault rifle at the Burger King parking lot. But, police have confirmed at least one person was taken into custody during the impromptu Puerto Rico flag cruising by W. Historic Mitchell Street business corridor.

Milwaukee police say that one person was taken into custody, they issued 9 citations and 5 vehicles were towed on Sunday in the Southside of Milwaukee during the impromptu Puerto Rico flag cruising chaotic melee by W. Historic Mitchell Street business district corridor.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Wednesday, Derrick Cainion, the Founder and curator for the Art Intersection Outdoor MKE organization confirmed to Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) that next week, at least 10 art mural canvases (painted in polytab mural cloths) will be installed at the Art Intersection Outdoor Gallery located at N. 35 Street and W.

Negrón, 73, at local events, who is also a well known local percussionist with the band Caché MKE.

Also in the Negrón Jr. canvas mural, other Latinos and Latinas will be featured by artist Rozalia Hernández-Singh.

Vacant Dr. Filiberto And Carmen Murguia School Campus Building In The Southside Demolished

The Dr. Filiberto and Carmen Murguia vacant school campus has been demolished at the 1600 S. 36 Street, according to City of Milwaukee records.

Hispanic News Network U.S.A.

June 1, 2026

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - According to City of Milwaukee property assessment records, the vacant Dr. Filiberto and Carmen Murguia Campus (previously a charter school) property was bought by the United Community Center (UCC) in 2023 for $1,300,000, and in March of 2026, both the UCC and D&H Demolition applied for a permit to raze the school and day care vacant building. It has taken at least 3 months to completely demolished the condemned building.

The UCC has not announced any major development project for the property at the 1600 block of S. 36 Street (formerly the Dr. Filiberto and Carmen Murguia Campus) in the Southside.

The campus building had previous owners, in 2010, the Centro Hispano (Council for the Spanish Speaking Inc. - also known as the Spanish Center) renamed the school building as the Filiberto and Carmen Murguia Campus after its former Director Filiberto Murguia, 78, retired. (HNNUSA article link: http://hispanicnewsnetwork.blogspot.com/2010/10/spanish-center-renames-high-school.html)

In 2003, when Dr. Murguia retired from the Centro Hispano, he left a $5,000,000 operating budget. But by 2015 to 2017, when Toni Rivera-Joachin was the executive director, the Centro Hispano lost several major federal funding sources, which led to laying off more than 88 employees, which the Centro Hispano would never recover and it eventually closed operations. (HNNUSA article link: http://hispanicnewsnetwork.blogspot.com/2023/06/the-dr-filiberto-carmen-murguia-campus.html)

Another unfortunate situation where a community as a whole allows a non-profit organization to eventually cease to exist and the loss of community services become a thing of the past, which tragically affects the community it served.

The end of the Dr. Filiberto and Carmen Murguia legacy was inevitable due to those that followed failed to maintain federal funding sources to keep the Centro Hispano and its services afloat.

Sign of the times!

Castro, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (USICE) agent was criminally charged in Hennepin County in Minneapolis, Minnesota for assault (shooting a suspected Venezuelan immigrant) and then filing a false crime report against Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, who was shot in the thigh by Castro on January 14, 2026. Castro and another USICE agent were chasing Alfredo Alejandro Aljorna into an apartment building and Castro fired at Aljorna, but instead struck Sosa-Celis in the thigh.

A $200,000 cash bail was set for Castro. Castro will now face the process of extradition to Minnesota, in order to face criminal charges.

The Hennepin County District Attorney's Office says, that Castro was charged earlier this month with four counts of second-degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime for an incident on Jan. 14, 2026, when he discharged his weapon through the front door of a home knowing there were people who had just run inside.

Castro and the other USICE agent lied in a crime report saying they were attacked by Sosa-Celis and Aljorna, which a security camera surveillance video from a nearby location captured the shooting contradicting Castro's claims.

The Hennepin County District Attorney's Office issued a felony warrant for the arrest of Castro.

Castro is the second USICE agent to be criminally charged in Hennepin County, Minnesota during the Operation Metro Surge immigration enforcement operations conducted by the MAGA (Make Amerikkka Great Again) USICE.

USICE is known as the most corrupt immigration enforcement agency in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. (Article link: http://hispanicnewsnetwork.blogspot.com/2026/01/milwaukee-fbi-confirmed-that-agents.html)

Wisconsin Court Of Appeals District 1 Reaffirmed Lower Courts Decision To Dismissed The Estate Of Luis Lorenzo Wrongful Death Lawsuit Against Defendants El Rey Enterprises LLP/LLC, And Marshall Public Safety LLC

A three judge panel in the Wisconsin Court of Appeals District 1 decided in June 2025 to reaffirmed the lower courts decision to dismiss the Luis Lorenzo wrongful death civil lawsuits against El Rey Enterprises LLP and other parties including Marshall Public Safety LLC.

By H. Nelson Goodson 

Hispanic News Network U.S.A. 

May 28, 2026

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - In June 10, 2025, a three penal judge for the Wisconsin Court of Appeals in District 1, Chief Judge Maxine A. White, Presiding Judge M. Joseph Donald and Judge Pedro  Colón ruled that the Estate of Luis Lorenzo by Special Administrator Wanda Rodriguez (Plaintiff-Appellant) in the Luis Lorenzo wrongful death civil lawsuit case filed against (lntervenor-Defendant-Respondent) Kinsale Insurance Company, El Rey Enterprises LLP, El Rey Enterprises II LLC, Marshall Public Safety (MPS), LLC, and Enoch Wilson failed to establish that El Rey or one of their employees were negligent in causing the death of Lorenzo in July 9, 2022 and El Rey Enterprises were not viscariously liable for Lorenzo's injuries and death. The case was dismissed by the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, which also led to the dismissal of the multiple Milwaukee County civil lawsuit cases claiming wrongful death by the Estate of Luis Lorenzo against Marshall Public Safety, LLC and its owner Enoch Wilson.

Wilson, the owner and operator of Marshall Public Safety, LLC is a El Rey's independent cobtractor. The three judge Appeals Court panel agreed "that the Estate's claim for negligent supervision fails on multiple grounds. MPS was El Rey's independent contractor, not its employee, servant or agent within the negligent supervision analysis. Id. at 265. Further, assuming without deciding that employment status was not controlling, the Estate has not shown that El Rey's negligence was the cause-in-fact of Lorenzo's injuries and death. See id. at 262. Therefore, it has not raised a genuine issue of material fact with regard to causation that would preclude summary judgment. Petzel, 320 Wis. 2d 621, ¶5."
