Madison, Wisconsin - On Friday, Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) learned that Tracy Xiong from Madison posted in her Facebook account that multiple Wisconsin state legislators had met last week in Madison to discuss an upcoming massive Trump MAGA (Make Amerikkka Great Again) immigration enforcement operation targeting the state involving at least 2,000 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (USICE) agents including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), U.S. Marshals Service, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, USATF and U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (USDEA) federal agents conducting ongoing operations for at least 4 months, according to Xiong.
HNNUSA reviewed local Milwaukee Southside Wisconsin State Assembly members and state senator's social media accounts, but none had anything posted in regards to the upcoming massive MAGA USICE immigration enforcement operation in the state.
HNNUSA attempted to contact Xiong via messenger, but have received no response before publishing article. Xiong did write in her post that she would update the immigration enforcement operation as more information becomes available.
So far, Wisconsin has been spared by the Trump MAGA administration in regards to conducting USICE operations to arrest and detain undocumented immigrants in the state.
There are more than 70,000 undocumented immigrants in Wisconsin, and 47,000 are employed in manufacturing, agriculture, construction, and also operate their own local businesses and restaurants.
Nearly 56,000 U.S. citizens in Wisconsin live with at least one family member who is undocumented. Undocumented immigrants contribute more than $157M in federal taxes and up to $101M in state and local taxes, according to the American Immigration Council.
