Elkhorn, Wisconsin - On Wednesday, Julie C. Valadez, 41, just before 4:50 p.m. was being bailed out from the Walworth County jail after an anonymous donor posted a $500,000 cashier's check for her bail, according to Luz Sosa, a Mother's Rights advocate in Wisconsin. 

The Walworth County court records indicated that a cash bail of $500,000 was posted for Valadez on Wednesday.

Valadez was expected to be released on Tuesday, but the Walworth County court rejected a check, and required only cash or a cashier's check totalling $500,000 for her release.

Sosa says that "Valadez, a caring mother, who is a survivor of domestic violence, and a courageous advocate is facing unjust felony charges in Wisconsin simply for protecting her children."

"After years of fighting through the family court system to escape abuse and stay connected to her four children, Julie has now been criminally charged for "custody interference" in Walworth County. Her son, Ethan, bravely fled to be with her in Canada after escaping alleged abuse. Instead of protecting this family, the legal system is punishing them.

"Julie voluntarily returned to Wisconsin to fight these frivolous charges — even after suffering a life-threatening heart attack while in custody. Now, she's being held on an unbelievable $500,000 cash bail, despite being non-violent, medically fragile, and legally vindicated by the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, which ruled that the original custody rulings were made in error."

Julie Valadez and her family were recognized as the United Migrant Opportunity Services (UMOS) Hispanic Family of the Year in 2017.

Valadez has a motion court hearing in Walworth County for bail reduction on August 28th and her final pretrial has been set for September 12th, according to Walworth County court records. (Article: http://hispanicnewsnetwork.blogspot.com/2025/05/500k-cash-bond-set-for-40-year-old.html)

On February 3, 2023, Valadez was charged with two felony counts for interfering with the child custody of other parent including party to a crime, and interfering with child custody, after custody order including party to a crime. (The Julie Valadez story https://youtu.be/lVjb_6tFG8A)

The second defendant in the Valadez case is Kimberlee Coronado, 48, of Waukesha, who was frivolously charged on March 21, 2023, with one felony count for interfering with the child custody of other parent and party to a crime, who previously had a $100,000 cash bail (3/16/23), but several years later was reduced to $10,000 (4/30/2025). Coronado has a status conference court hearing in Walworth County on October 14, 2025. (Article: http://hispanicnewsnetwork.blogspot.com/2024/02/final-pre-trial-set-for-kimberlee.html)

The third defendant in the case is Kathryn Alamea-Xian, 52, of Hawaii, who is currently living in Canada, but a felony warrant for her arrest was filed on March 3, 2023. Alamea-Xian was also frivolous charged with two felony counts for interfering with the child custody of other parent including party to a crime, and interfering with child custody, after custody order including party to a crime. (Article: http://hispanicnewsnetwork.blogspot.com/2023/05/kathryn-alamea-xian-from-protective.html)

The criminal cases for Valadez and Coronado are being tried separately, but allegedly involved Ethan Valadez who ran away from his abusive father, Ricardo Valadez, a former Waukesha pastor. 

Today, Ethan, now 17, is leaving with Julie's parents in Walworth County. (Ethan's video: https://youtu.be/hiCIdQaAIeM)

In the Walworth County cases, Delavan Police Detective Trevor G. Hinman intentionally filed a false new incident police report dated February 2, 2023 for Kidnapped Minor to Sexually Asslt against both Kathryn Alamea-Xian and Julie Valadez including an arrest booking number, which in fact both defendants were out of the country. Det. Hinman false police report was intentionally included in the Delavan Police Department discovery report sent to the Canada Border Services Agency to unlawfully help detain both Kathryn and Julie in Canada for the purpose to deport them on frivolous criminal charges for child sex trafficking. (Article:  http://hispanicnewsnetwork.blogspot.com/2023/06/julie-valadez-ordered-released-from.html)

According to Coronado's Walworth County court transcripts, Det. Hinman allegedly lied on the stand when he was asked, if he knew Ethan and Julie. He denied knowing them. This was a lie because Det. Hinman was assigned to Ethan's case when he had called police during an altercation with his father. Hinman was the follow up detective who buried the Ethan abuse case. Ethan had information in his iPad full of evidence of his father's alleged crimes, but the Delavan Police Department gave the iPad to Ricardo. That's why Ethan had his iPad taken away from him for about a year, Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) learned. (Article link: http://hispanicnewsnetwork.blogspot.com/2023/04/protective-makua-requested-witness.html)

These criminal cases show how corrupt both the Walworth County District Attorney's Office including judges, also the Delavan Police Department, and the Waukesha County family court Judges that include Judge Michael Aprahamian who illegally gave full custody to Ricardo Valadez, the abusive father; Judge Ralph M. Ramirez, who stayed Aprahamian's decision eventhough illegal and Judge Jennifer R. Dorow, who currently presides in the Julie Valadez v. Ricardo Valadez divorce case #2018FA000296. Dorow has also failed to implement the Wisconsin Court of Appeals to revert the ruling that Judge Aprahamian illegally allowed Ricardo to have custody of the 4 Valadez children without any due process or court hearings to discover, if Julie was an unfit mother.

Judge Dorow in the Julie Valadez v. Ricardo Valadez divorce case in Waukesha County ordered in June 23, 2025 that:

IT IS ORDERED that the motion for waiver of the filing fee is denied.
IT IS ORDERED that the petition for a writ of habeas corpus is denied ex parte, without costs. See WIS. STAT. RULE 809.51(2).

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this court will not waive the filing fee in any future case that Julie Valadez files in this court, or that is filed on her behalf. This court will not act on the future case until the filing fee has been paid.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that because Julie Valadez is abusing the appellate process by repetitively litigating the same matters, no further writ petitions will be accepted from Valadez or by any person on her behalf, except those filed by a Wisconsin-licensed attorney who is duly providing representation to Valadez, until Valadez first submits an affidavit, sworn to by her, that contains all of the following:

1. A statement setting forth the specific grounds upon which this court cangrant relief;

2. A statement showing how the issues sought to be raised differ from the issues she has previously raised; and

3. A statement explaining why the claims she seeks to raise in a new writ petition could not have been previously raised. The affidavit shall not exceed 1,000 words, and shall include as an attachment, where appropriate, a copy of the decision or order from which Valadez is seeking relief. The text of the attached decision or order shall not count against the 1,000-word limit of the affidavit. We will not consider any materials filed by Valadez or on her behalf except the aforementioned affidavit and the attached decision or order, nor portions of the affidavit in excess of the 1,000-word limit. We will refuse to docket any new writ petition unless the affidavit demonstrates that the argument or claim Valadez seeks to raise is one upon which relief could be granted, has not been previously litigated, and could not have been raised in a prior writ petition. The respondent need not submit anything in response to an affidavit submitted as described above. The respondent may wait to submit any filings to this court until after we issue an order, if any, permitting the writ petition to be docketed.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the motion for emergency relief is denied as moot.


Editor's note: Both Walworth and Waukesha Counties are considered majority Republican/MAGA political strongholds in Wisconsin, thus indicating the widespread corruption and relentless disregard to the rule of law in Wisconsin by identified parties in the Valadez,  Coronado and Alamea-Xian frivolous cases.

Unfortunately, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers (D), Lt. Governor Sara Rodriguez (D), Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul (D), the Wisconsin Court of Appeals and the Wisconsin Supreme Court including the Wisconsin Judicial Commission have failed to hold both Walworth and Waukesha Counties accountable for their widespread corruption and disregard to the rule of law in the State.

North Shore Republicans Create Independant Conservative Org After Their Local Republican Party Branch Was Disolved By The RPMC Executive Board

The North Shore Republicans defiantly react after their local political Republican Party branches were dissolved by the Republican Party of Milwaukee County Executive Board, now the North Shore Republicans have created an independent conservative organization called North Shore Red that includes 7 municipalities.

Glendale, Wisconsin - On Thursday, the North Shore Republicans announced that their Republican Party North Shore branch was dissolved by the Republican Party of Milwaukee County Executive Board and their funding was confiscated by the board forcing the North Shore Republicans in 7 municipalities to create an independent conservative organization called the North Shore Red.

According to the North Shore Republicans, the Republican Party of Milwaukee County (RPMC) Executive Board recently voted to dissolve all 7 county branches, stripping branch chairmen of their voting rights on the RPMC Board and taking control of all funds raised by these branches. This decision denies local branches, including the North Shore Republican Branch (NSRB), the autonomy to allocate resources as they see fit.

For years, the NSRB has been a model of grassroots excellence. We independently funded and operated campaign offices that served as vibrant hubs for volunteers and candidates. Despite our proven success, the RPMC has resisted our efforts, even attempting to block the NSRB from maintaining our office, regardless of our ability to raise funds. This overreach is misguided and undermines the energy driving our party.

The North Shore Republicans on a press release announced on Thursday, the formation of NORTH SHORE RED, a new organization dedicated to continuing the NSRB's legacy of grassroots advocacy. North Shore Red will independently raise and allocate funds to advance conservative values through campaigns, events, and initiatives across Milwaukee County and Wisconsin.

In other words, the RPMC Executive Board will no longer have control of the North Shore Republicans.

On July 18, Hilario Deleon, Chairman of the Republican Party of Milwaukee County had announced the approval of a grassroots expansion with new ward captain-based structure, thus phasing out the 7 municipalities (Bayside, Brown Deer, Fox Point, Glendale, River Hills, Shorewood and Whitefish Bay) of the North Shore Republican Party branch system, in favor of a more stream lined and community-centered approach based on municipal boundaries local governance.

The GOP/MAGAs have become known today as the Guardians of Pedophiles for their reluctance to release the Epstein files and list of alleged pedophiles that allegedly includes Trump's name.
