A previous Brown Berets of Wisconsin (BBW) Facebook page that was highjacked by a none Wisconsin member had endorsed candidate Juan Miguel Martinez for Milwaukee County District 12th Supervisor that was a previous member of the BBW who was ousted from the group for allegedly attempting to use the group's name to attack El Supermercado El Rey and the local Conquistador Newspaper.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Monday, Walter Garron, the Commander of Los Brown Berets of Wisconsin confirmed that Juan Miguel Martinez, candidate for Milwaukee County District 12th Supervisor is not being endorsed by the BBW as previously led to believe in a highjacked BBW Facebook (FB) by a none member identified as Sergio Lujan from El Paso Texas. Lujan was part of the administration of the previous BBW highjacked FB page and then he decided to take control of the FB page without authority of the rest of the page administrators in Wisconsin. Lujan is a member of the Brown Berets in Texas, but not a Wisconsin BBW member and he continues to use the previous BBW FB page, according to Garron.
Garron also posted a previous FB post on his account exposing Martinez who was ousted from the Wisconsin group for allegedly lying and attempting to use the group's name to attack El Supermercado El Rey and El Conquistador Newspaper in Milwaukee.
When Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) attempted to get a statement from Martinez in regards to Garron's FB post alleging that he lied and attempted to use the group's name to attack El Rey and El Conquistador Newspaper, Martinez told HNNUSA that he would not release a statement.
Voces de la Frontera Action, Citizen Action of Wisconsin Southeastern Co-op, Milwaukee Democratic Socialists of America, Wisconsin Working Families and Milwaukee County Supervisor Ryan Clancy have endorsed Martinez.
The following is the BBW press release announcement on Monday that their previous FB page was highjacked by Lujan from Texas.
To whom this may concern:
With great thought and much conversation we have come to a collective decision to become autonomous. We have not come to this decision lightly and believe that this is the best way to move forward at this time. We the soldiers of Wisconsin believe that our decision in leadership was undermined by the removal of our commander. We stand united behind our decision in our leadership and the undeniable work we have done for our community here in Wisconsin. All of us have worked hard to create sustaining relationships and partners to build a stronger Wisconsin.We understand that some decisions are beyond our control and we hope to continue to collaborate in the future for the benefit of our communities.
With that being said, we respectfully ask for the control of our facebook page. We believe it would be a huge disservice to those that rely on our facebook for means of communication and outreach. Most if not all persons on our friend list are those from our area so removing us from will do no service to you.
At this time we would like to thank you for collaboration in all past efforts and hope that we work together again in the future. La Causa will continue to live on in all we do going forward here in Wisconsin.
Los Brown Berets of Wisconsin
