Milwaukee, Wisconsin - This past weekend, the Southside experienced a shortage of patriotic impromptu and chaotic Mexican flag waving and cruising including large unorganized crowds in celebration of the Cinco de Mayo festive weekend.
Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) did noticed that no massive chaotic and impromptu Mexican flag waving and cruising occurred in the predominately Latino Southside Community over the Cinco de Mayo 2025 celebrations.
HNNUSA noticed about less than a half dozen vehicles going solo in the predominately Mexican-American and immigrant community in Milwaukee over the weekend.
Many say, that 34-count convicted felon President Donald J. Trump's latest U.S. Immigration and Customs (USICE) mass immigration enforcement operations nationwide and locally have kept Mexican nationals and others from openly taking over the streets in what had become an annual impromptu flag waving and cruising event.
The Trump for President Facebook page claimed that many communities canceled their Cinco de Mayo celebrations due to the current USICE raids.
The 5,500 USICE enforcement personnel is now operating under the Titlewave Operation, which arrested more than 1,100 undocumented immigrants in Florida, and USICE confirmed that their agents including other federal law enforcement agencies including the Postal Inspectors have partnered to conduct mass immigration enforcement raids.
The MAGA Republicans in the U.S. Congress are working to add additional federal funding for USICE, in order to hire an additional 4,500 agents.
No major incidents were reported by Milwaukee police over the weekend concerning the Cinco de Mayo 2025 celebrations, except a minor brawl reported on Sunday, May 4, 2025 at the United Migrant Opportunity Services Corporate (UMOS) grounds at the 2700 W. Chase Ave. in the Southside of Milwaukee where they had the Alpine Carnival rides only. Video of brawl at link: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/16HoEwqgEp/
UMOS has not announced, that the Alpine Carnival rides will continue at their corporate grounds for future outdoor events like the upcoming Mexican Independence Day Parade and Festival 2025 during the September 16, weekend celebration.
The annual Cinco de Mayo festival previously held at the UMOS corporate grounds sponsored and organized by El Conquistador Newspaper was moved this year to Humboldt Park at the 3000 S. Howell Ave. in Milwaukee. Victor Huyke, the organizer of the Cinco de Mayo Festival at Humboldt Park reported no incidents when contacted by HNNUSA on Tuesday.
Also, the César E. Chávez Drive Business Bid 38 organizers of this year's outdoor Cinco de Mayo Market 2025 one-day event at S. Chávez Drive on Sunday reported no incidents as well.

In History May 5, 1862, the Battle of Puebla unfolded as General Ignacio Zaragoza's outnumbered Mexican peasant fighters defeated the mighty French forces. This victory was a strong stance against foreign dominance, and it's celebrated today as Cinco de Mayo, and also that the Mexican peasants stopped the French army from aiding the South (Confederacy) during the U.S. Civil War with weapons and forces, which an agreement between the Confederacy and the French had planned during the U.S. Civil War. Thus, marking a defeat for the South, the North (U.S.) was actually saved by the Mexican peasants defeat of the French.
