Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Wednesday, Milwaukee County Judge David Swanson in a plea deal agreement sentenced Todd Alan Erickson, 61, to two years in prison and two years of supervision, and sentenced Brandon LaDaniel Turner, 31, to one year in prison and one year probation for the brutal and cold blooded murder of D'Vontaye L. Mitchell, 43, on June 30, 2024. Swanson stayed both their sentences after pleading guilty in a plea agreement, which means that they won't spent one day in prison, unless they violate conditions of their supervision.

Two other convicted men in the murder of Mitchell, Herbert T. Williamson, 53, and Devin W. Johnson-Carson, 21, in a plea agreement pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges for battery and Williamson was sentenced to 10 days in jail, and Johnson-Carson was sentenced to 4 days in jail, but Judge Swanson gave them credit for time served.

Mitchell's family says, that Judge Swanson who is White failed to provide any justice for Mitchell who was Black. 

Apparently, Blacks and Whites have a two-tier of justice system in Milwaukee County.

Largest Mexican Independence Day Parade And Festival In Waukegan Postponed Due To Safety Concerns Regarding USICE And National Guard Immigration And Domestic Law Enforcement Operations In Illinois

Organizers of the largest Mexican Independence Day parade and festival in Waukegan confirmed the one-day event has been postponed due to safety concerns for the community and start of the largest scale U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (USICE) and deployment of the National Guard from 6 red states engaging in allegedly domestic law enforcement and immigration enforcement operations in Illinois.

Waukegan, Illinois - On Wednesday, Margaret Carrasco, the President of Fiesta Patrias in Waukegan that sponsors the annual Mexican Independence Day Parade and Festival for the last 30 years confirmed that the September 14, 2025 Fiesta Patrias parade and festival has been postponed until November to combine it with the Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) due to safety reasons and threat of a large scale USICE operation including the deployment of the National Guard from 6 red states to assist in immigration and domestic law enforcement operations in Chicago (Cook County) and Lake County, which includes the City of Waukegan. It's the first time that the Fiesta Patrias organizers have postponed its annual event in 30 years.

This year's Fiesta Patrias parade included more than 100 food and item vendors, 100 horses, 6 Mexican style bands and more than 200 parade units (3 mile long parade), making it the largest one-day parade and festival in the midwest, and draws millions of dollars of economic imput annually to the Great Lakes County, according to Carrasco. 

According to Carrasco, an official with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in the Great Lakes region adviced that all upcoming events that will draw crowds to Mexican Independence Day  celebrations should be canceled indicating that the events, parades and festivals have been allegedly targeted for immigration enforcement by (Make Amerikkka Great Again-MAGA) USICE and the assisting MAGA National Guard.

Carrasco also posted in her Facebook account in social media that at 300 USICE and federal agents and 1,700 National Guard troops have arrived at the Great Lakes Naval Station, 3355 Illinois Street in North Chicago, Illinois. She says, additional troops and federal agents are expected to be deployed in the Chicago metropolitan area by Trump and Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense.

Most immigration and domestic law enforcement in California by both MAGA Gestapo masked USICE officials and red states National Guard has been documented as illegal and unconstitutional.

A federal judge just ruled that Trump and Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense violated federal law when they allowed the National Guard to assist USICE in immigration enforcement in California. The National Guard is prohibited by federal law to enforce domestic law and make arrests of civilians.

Hegseth is accused of violating two different clauses of the U.S. Constitution: the Posse Comitatus Act. The Posse Comitatus Act limits the use of federal military personnel for domestic law enforcement. U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer's ruling cited actions such as "security patrols, traffic control, crowd control, and riot control" as unlawful, CNN dot com reported.

The National Guard that is being deployed in Blue states like California and Illinois come from 6 red states, which Republican governors from West Virginia, South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, Ohio, and Tennessee have sent troops to help Trump in his attempt to curve crime.

The National Guard deployed to Blue states is most likely infiltrated by White supremacists and Trump supporters who will follow Trump's orders, even if his orders are illegal and unconstitutional.

Black Community Advocacy Groups Condemned MPA President Alexander Ayala's Call On Trump To Deploy MAGA National Guard In Milwaukee

Multiple Black advocacy groups are calling for Ayala's resignation from the Milwaukee Police Association after saying on a interview with WISN 12 News that he wants the National Guard to come to Milwaukee and help police control crowds at street takeovers.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Wednesday, multiple Black advocacy groups released the following public statement on Milwaukee Police Union President Alexander Ayala's call for National Guard deployment in the City of Milwaukee.

We are deeply disturbed by the decision of Milwaukee Police Union President Alexander Ayala to publicly call on President Donald Trump to send National Guard troops into the City of Milwaukee. This action is reckless, unconstitutional, and blatantly disrespectful to both the citizens of Milwaukee and the very officers Mr. Ayala claims to represent.

By asking for military intervention in a City governed by elected leadership, Mr. Ayala has demonstrated a complete lack of faith in the Milwaukee Police Department's ability to perform its duties—and in his own ability to lead. A union president's role is to protect and uplift officers, not to undermine their credibility or call for military occupation against the people they are sworn to serve.

This call signals not only a dangerous flirtation with fascist and authoritarian tactics, but also a disturbing disregard for civil liberties, community trust, and democratic governance. The people of Milwaukee elect their leaders—not police unions, not external militias, and certainly not bewildered  union presidents that can't lead or find solutions, and questions the authority of our local government.

On behalf of GodsGang, The Moore Resource and Strategy Group, and the citizens we stand with across Milwaukee, we call for the immediate resignation of Alexander Ayala as President of the Milwaukee Police Association. If you do not believe in your officers, if you do not trust the people of Milwaukee, and if your first instinct is to reach for military suppression rather than community solutions—then you are unfit to lead, and those who share your beliefs should step down with you.

Milwaukee deserves leadership grounded in courage, compassion, and accountability—not cowardice masked as strength.

Enough is enough. Step aside, Mr. Ayala.

In brief: The MAGA infiltrated Milwaukee Police Association endorsed Trump for President in 2020 and in 2024. Trump was defeated by Joe Biden (D) in 2020, and lost Wisconsin. Then in 2024, Trump (R-MAGA) defeated Kamala Harris (D) and was elected president.

The City of Milwaukee has a majority of Democrat voters and has been instrumental in electing public officials in the state and nationally.

A federal judge just ruled that Trump and Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense violated federal law when they allowed the National Guard (NG) to assist USICE in immigration enforcement in California. The NG is prohibited by federal law to enforce domestic law and make arrests of civilians.

Hegseth is accused of violating two different clauses of the U.S. Constitution: the Posse Comitatus Act. The Posse Comitatus Act limits the use of federal military personnel for domestic law enforcement. U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer's ruling cited actions such as "security patrols, traffic control, crowd control, and riot control" as unlawful, CNN dot com reported.

The MAGA Trump NG that is being deployed in Blue states like California and Illinois come from 6 red states, which Republican governors from West Virginia, South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, Ohio, and Tennessee have sent troops to help Trump in his attempt to curve crime.

The National Guard deployed to Blue states is most likely infiltrated by White supremacists and Trump supporters who will follow Trump's orders, even if his orders are illegal and unconstitutional.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Tuesday, September 2, 2025, Alexander Ayala, President of the MAGA infiltrated Milwaukee Police Association (MPA-union) on WISN 12 News told Matt Smith that he welcomes the MAGA Trump National Guard (NG) to Milwaukee for crowd control of chaotic street takeovers and will reach out to Trump and request for him to deploy the NG to Milwaukee and aid police with crime prevention. 

The MAGA infiltrated Milwaukee Police Association endorsed Trump for President in 2020 and in 2024. Trump was defeated by Joe Biden (D) in 2020, and lost Wisconsin. Then in 2024, Trump (R-MAGA) defeated Kamala Harris (D) and was elected president.

The City of Milwaukee has a majority of Democrat voters and has been instrumental in electing public officials in the state and nationally.

Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson told WISN 12 News, that several months ago Ayala sat in his office with other Wisconsin Hispanic Scholarship Foundation (WHSF) Board members who sponsor the three-day Mexican Fiesta at the Summerfest grounds in late August. While meeting with Mayor Johnson, Ayala was asking the mayor what the City could do to prevent U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (USICE) from engaging in immigration enforcement at Mexican Fiesta in the Summerfest grounds. Johnson says that he can't understand now why Ayala is so interested in bringing federal troops now, bringing in the federal government now.

Ayala is also a Board member of the WHSF, which sponsors the annual Mexican Fiesta at the Summerfest grounds.

The question is, who will the MAGA infiltrated MPA stand with, the City of Milwaukee or with Trump when the NG in conjunction with masked Gestapo USICE officials and feds engage in illegal acts during immigration enforcement in Milwaukee?

A federal judge just ruled that Trump and Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense violated federal when they allowed the National Guard to assist USICE in immigration enforcement in California. The NG is prohibited by federal law to enforce the law and make arrests of civilians.

The MAGA Trump NG that is being deployed in Blue states like California and Illinois come from 6 red states, which Republican governors from West Virginia, South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, Ohio, and Tennessee have sent troops to help Trump in his attempt to curve crime.

The National Guard deployed to Blue states is most likely infiltrated by White supremacists and Trump supporters who will follow Trump's orders, even if his orders are illegal and unconstitutional.

On Tuesday, the NG began to arrived in Chicago, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker (D) says that Trump is ignoring red states with higher crime rates, "none of this is about fighting crime, or making Chicago safer, none of it, about Trump, it's testing his power and producing a political drama to cover up for his corruption."

Federal Lawsuit Filed By Minocqua Brewing Company Super PAC In Wisconsin To Unmask And Identify MAGA Gestapo USICE And Feds During Immigration Enforcement

Bangstad, owner of the Minocqua Brewing Company says that the Super PAC chipped in at least $10K to file the class action lawsuit on Sunday to unmask and identity MAGA Gestapo USICE and feds in the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin.

Madison, Wisconsin - On Monday, Kirk Bangstad, the owner of Minocqua Brewing Company and Super PAC, which has the same name announced that on Sunday, he filed a class action complaint for injunctive and declaratory relief lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin against Kristi Noem, Todd Lyons, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (USDHS) and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (USICE), claiming that they are in violation of the First, Fourth and Fifth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution as a result of ICE's policy of conducting civil immigration enforcement with officers acting while masked or without visible identification and seeks injunctive relief from the court to cease such illegal policy mandates that allows USICE officials to wear masks and no identification when conducting immigration enforcement operations in Wisconsin.

According to Bangstag, the lawsuit was filed on behalf of Wisconsinites to unmask, identify them (USICE officials) by name including badge number, and wear USICE insignia. 

On Sunday during a press conference in Dane County after filing the federal lawsuit, Bangstad said, "Our lawsuit was filed on the heels of LRB 4042, a bill introduced by Wisconsin State Assembly Representative Sylvia Ortiz-Velez (D-Milwaukee) last week that seeks to effectively achieve the same goals as our lawsuit through legislative means."

"Unfortunately, legislative Democrats in this state are in the minority and the Republicans in charge won't pass this bill—because doing so would require them to muster up a level of courage that we haven't seen since Trump turned them into a cult of personality years ago.

"That's why we filed our federal lawsuit in Wisconsin's Western District. We hope that a judge on that court has the courage to meet the moment and protect Wisconsinites.

"For months, we called on Wisconsin's Democratic Attorney General, Josh Kaul, to file a lawsuit to unmask ICE. We gave him the legal arguments on how to do it weeks ago and even gave him a draft of our completed lawsuit last week.

"We asked our email list of over 300K people to demand that Kaul 1) protect Wisconsinites from violent ICE agents who are racially profiling and illegally harassing U.S. Citizens and migrants alike, and 2) protect us from ICE impersonators--who get away with raping, assaulting, and robbing women because they look no different than real ICE agents who wear masks and hide their identities. We know that like us, several hundred of you wrote to Josh Kaul but have heard nothing back in return.

"After weeks of waiting for someone to get back to us from the Attorney General's office, and after our publicized deadline for him to respond by last Friday came and went, we filed our lawsuit this morning. We fully understand that our Attorney General should be doing this, not us, but here we are. Someone in this state needs to sue ICE, and if our AG isn't willing to do his job, then we'll do it for him.

"The lawsuit goes into detail about how ICE is currently violating our 1st, 4th, and 5th Constitutional Amendments by acting like a gang of thugs instead of respected law enforcement agents."

Wisconsin State Representative Sylvia Ortiz-Velez (D-Milw) proposed LRB 4042 bill to unmask and identity USICE officials, if passed by the Republican state controlled legislature, it would make it a state felony D for USICE agents and feds to wear masks and not identify themselves during immigration enforcement operations in the state.

Multicultural Affairs Office Student Services Offered At Milwaukee Area Technical College To Students Of Color Were Eliminated By MATC President Dr. Anthony Cruz

The new Office of Community Impact that replaced the Multicultural Affairs Office in late August 2025 at MATC hasn't released any specific plans or student services that would benefit students of color, which nearly 63% of the student population is majority minority and 23% of the student enrollment population is Hispanic.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Sunday, Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) screened shot and published the services that included academic advising, crisis intervention, student advocacy and other paramount services previously provided to students of color by the Milwaukee Area Technical College Multicultural Affairs Office that had helped increased enrollment of students including Latinos and was instrumental in helping to recruit, retain and successfully graduate students of color that then continued to pursue higher education at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and other area colleges and universities in Milwaukee and state.

Checkout the Multicultural Affairs Office (MAO) services to students of color (Black, Hispanic, Asian and Native-American) that were eliminated when the MAO was eliminated in late August under the decision of Milwaukee Area Technical College President Dr. Anthony Cruz.

Also, four student services specialists were also terminated without the option to transfer to other positions at the technical college, which is a violation of MATC policy.

According to MATC AFT Local 212, MATC failed to offer "transfer rights to the four employees adversely affected by the closing, as per page 34 of the MATC Employee Handbook which states that, "full-time employees subject to involuntary layoff shall be considered for reassignment." 

According to MATC, the Office of Community Impact replaced the MAO, and so far, MATC has not released what services will be offer to students, compared to what the MAO offered to help recruit, retain and graduate  students of color.

The elimination of the MAO came under protest by the Black, Hispanic, Asian and Native-American communities and they are demanding the reinstatement of the 4 student services specialists that were unfairly terminated. Students, instructors, workers and members from the Black, Hispanic, Asian and Native-American communities have lost confidence on MATC President Dr. Cruz and want his investure in September to be postponed by the MATC Board of Trustees.

The elimination of the MAO was to comply with the Trump's MAGA U.S. Department of Education (US DOE) guidance that prohibits positions with duties that provide services exclusively to students based on race or ethnicity (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion).

PBS News reported on August 14, 2025,  "A federal judge on Thursday struck down two Trump administration actions aimed at eliminating diversity, equity and inclusion programs at the nation's schools and universities."

"In her ruling, U.S. District Judge Stephanie Gallagher in Maryland found that the Education Department violated the law when it threatened to cut federal funding from educational institutions that continued with DEI initiatives.

"The guidance has been on hold since April when three federal judges blocked various portions of the Education Department's anti-DEI measures."

Apparently, MATC President Cruz didn't have any justified reason to eliminate the MAO, since complying with the US DOE guidance is illegal and unconstitutional, according  to multiple federal court rulings. Cruz's decision also goes in contrary to Wisconsin state law that created the technical college as well.

2024 Wisconsin Statutes & Annotations

Chapter 38 - Technical college system.

38.001 - Mission and purpose.

Under this statue it states that the principal purpose of technical colleges in the state is to (e) provide education and services which address barriers created by stereotyping and discriminating and assist individuals with disabilities, minorities, women, and the disadvantaged to participate in the work force and the full range of technical college programs and activities. 

The US DOE is being elininated by Trump as well, according to an executive order.
