Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Tuesday, the latest Milwaukee County Brady List that includes 191 names of local law enforcement officers with alleged credibility issues was released by TMJ4 News in conjunction with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and a non-profit newsroom called Wisconsin Watch, which Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) noticed that the name of then (2007) Milwaukee Police Officer Alexander C.

The Brady List does include the name of former Milwaukee Police Officer Jose Morales who's real name is Oscar Ayala-Cornejo, who was illegally in country and used his deceased cousin's name from Chicago, Illinois, a U.S. citizen to become a Milwaukee police officer who was assigned to the Southside Milwaukee Police Station District 2 in 2007.

When Ayala-Cornejo used Jose Morales's name to become a Milwaukee police officer, which at the time, his brother, then Police Officer Alexander C. Ayala also known as Alex knew that Ayala-Cornejo was undocumented, but he didn't say anything at the time to the Milwaukee Police Department administration. A tip to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (USICE) led to the arrest of Officer Morales on May 2007 at the Police District Station 2. 

Ayala-Cornejo was later deported to Guadalajara,  Mexico on December 23, 2007 after accepting a plea agreement to plea guilty, he agreed to be deported, and resigned from the Milwaukee Police Department. A federal judge sentenced Ayala-Cornejo to one year probation at the time.

Alexander was fired on September 2007 for lying about his brother's identity by the Milwaukee Police Department, and reinstated on December 2007, with a 10-day suspension without pay, according to police reports.

The question remains today, why didn't Alexander C. Ayala's name appear in the latest Brady List? 

Ayala was also the Vice-President of the Milwaukee Police Association, before becoming president of the police union.

Ayala was selected as UMOS Man of the Year in 2023 and also his family, UMOS Family of the Year 2023.

Ayala is currently a Board member of the Wisconsin Hispanic Scholarship Foundation, Inc. who sponsors the three-day Mexican Fiesta at the Summerfest grounds in late August.
