Muskego Ave. in the Southside of Milwaukee. The individual(s) was questioned and taken by USICE, and vehicle left behind at the scene.

The photo of USICE at S. 25 and W. Muskego was posted on Facebook by Victor Gonzalez who says, someone had sent him the picture. Gonzalez drove to the area where USICE was spotted afterwards, but USICE had gone. In a social media video that he posted, Gonzalez can be heard asking an employee of a new Mexican store that just opened at the old Walgreens, if la migra (USICE) was in the area, which the employee responded that they were, but didn't enter the grocery store.

Controversal U.S. Flag With Thin Blue Line Adorns MPD SUV Unit For Officer Kendall Corder's End Of Watch Memorial At Police District 2 Station In Milwaukee

The recent death of Milwaukee Police Officer Corder and remembrance of his professional dedication as a law enforcement partner to help keep the City of Milwaukee and the Southside community safe seems to have been turned into a political social injustice by placing a controversial U.S. flag with a thin blue line to adorn his assigned Milwaukee Police Department SUV cruiser (unit).

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Monday, the Milwaukee Police Department (MPD) District 2 Station placed the department's police SUV unit that the late Milwaukee Police Officer Kendall Corder, 32, used to drive while on duty in front of the Police District 2 Station as a memorial and remembrance of the officer shot while on duty on June 26, 2025 and who later succumbed to his critical injuries. 

What's catching people's eye, is that Officer Corder's assigned policing unit is adorned with the controversial U.S. flag with a thin blue line on it, which was adopted by the alt-right law enforcement associated group know as Blue Lives Matter to counter act against Black Lives Matters that advocated against unjust killings of unarmed Blacks by police throughout the nation. The U.S. flag with the thin blue line was also carried by Trump's MAGA Patriots and White supremacists during the January 6, 2021 insurrection in Washington D.C. in an attempt to stop the certification of the Electorial College vote win declaring Joe Biden (D) as U.S. President defeating Donald J. Trump (R-MAGA) in 2020.

Also in 2020, the Milwaukee Police Association (police union) endorsed Trump for U.S. President and again in 2024, which definitely drew concern, since the City of Milwaukee is a strong hold for the majority voting Democrats in Wisconsin and is the key voting City to decide elections in the state and nation.

With the Trump administration targeting the undocumented population today, arresting countless people of color including U.S. citizens without due process around the nation, especially in Blue states, many law enforcement agencies and departments in Republican/MAGA control cities and counties allow their officers to wear the thin blue line in flag patches, uniforms, police vehicles and etc. like the Delavan Police Department in Wisconsin, has come to be associated with the Trump's MAGA cult. People of color tend to see law enforcement wearing the blue thin line as supremacists and MAGA Patriots.

Both the Milwaukee Police Department and the Milwaukee Police Association can allow the used of the thin blue line in their attire (uniforms) and other uses, but it will certainly draw unwanted attention by the public to believe that supremacists and MAGA (Make Amerikkka Great Again) Patriots do wear the badge and people might tend not to trust law enforcement.
