WI: On November 3, 2026 at 9:45 p.m., Republican Tom Tiffany concedes and congratulates David Crowley (D-Milw) for his victory as becoming the first Black governor in Wisconsin.

The Democrats are projected to gain the majority in both the Wisconsin State Assembly and Wisconsin State Senate.

National news projects that the Democrats will become the majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, also the Democrats will become the majority in the U.S. Senate.

The Blue Wave Tsunami has struck the U.S. Congress and the Trump administration is facing a backlash of Democrat defeat, which will lead to Trump's impeachment and corruption probes.

In other Wisconsin races:

• JoCasta Zamarripa (D-Milw) elected as first Latina/LGBTQ Wisconsin Secretary of State 

• Priscilla Prado (D-Milw) incumbent, elected to the State 9th Assembly District 

• Ismael Luna (D-Milw) elected as first Latino/LGBTQ to the State 8th Assembly District (According to a credible source, Milwaukee police investigators and the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office were able to get a warrant for probable cause allegations in early October seeking Luna's cellphone pin data indicating where he actually lived (stayed at night) after allegations from Wisconsin State Representative Sylvia Ortiz-Velez (D-Milw) claimed that he didn't lived in the 8th Assembly District. The outcome (results) of the warrant execution has not been disclosed.)

• Dina Nina Martinez-Rutherford (D-Madison) elected as the first Transgender (LGBTQ) in the State 76th Assembly District

Racist Rhetoric Social Media Post Targeting Blacks After Milwaukee Brewers Win World Series Goes Viral, Trump Supporter Identified As Greg Butschle

Butschle is a retired Community Reintegretion Center corrections lieutenant officer who was identified as the person who posted in his Facebook account an alleged racist rhetoric rant against Blacks after the Milwaukee Brewers won the World Series.

By H. Nelson Goodson 

Hispanic News Network U.S.A.

October 29, 2026

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Thursday, the Milwaukee Alliance Against Racist & Political Repression (MAARPR) posted a Racist Alert in their Facebook account identifying Greg Butschle, 57, as posting a racist rhetoric social media post in Facebook targeting blacks. Butschle's post read as follows, "Go Brewers. Now you can see why we have a city and county run by Black people. They're having a parade at 10 AM on a Friday. Packers play

Thursday. It would make more sense to have the parade on Sunday. A Black people don't know baseball They know how to shoot people, rob people, I guess the only people not working are Black people on Fridays just saying. Go Brewers Out of town don't bring any valuables to

Milwaukee because your car will be broken into by the Black people not working. so don't plan I'm bringing bunches of Black people in my neighborhood because l'm only handing candy out to white people whose parents have jobs and he had to takeoff Friday." He later deleted the social media post, but Facebook (FB) users screenshot the post before being deleted and began to share it, until it went viral.

Some FB users were mistakenly associating Butschle as an employee of the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office (MCSO), but the MCSO later released a Press Release saying, "#MKESheriff is aware of a Facebook post containing vile, racist tropes by an individual whose profile IDs him as a Milwaukee County corrections lieutenant. This individual retired in 2024 from the Community Reintegration Center, which is not operated by the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office. The Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office does not condone racist rhetoric."

Butschle was a former Milwaukee County Reintegretion Center (formerly the House of Corrections) correctional lieutenant officer and not with Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office. He retired in 2024.

Butschle also targeted Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley (D-Milw) who is a candidate for Wisconsin Governor. Butschle's social media post allegedly seems to indicate that the Governor's race is between an uneducated Black and White candidate. Hopefully, Butschle is not attempting to ignite a Race war for Governorship in Wisconsin. 

Crowley, the Democrat  candidate for Wisconsin  Governor is Black and Tom Tiffany, the Republican candidate for Governor is White.

Butschle's social media post dated October 22, 2026 reads, "#Wisconsin so glad to see such a stupid uneducated African American running for #Governor vs someone who can run the State and enrich the whole state. Too bad #Milwaukeecounty will be stuck with him after he looses.."

Today, the state legislature is controlled by the Republican/MAGA (Make Amerikkka Great Again) legislators. 

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers, the current Democrat in office decided not to run for re-election.

Butschle has identified himself as a Trump supporter in his Facebook account, and his alleged racist rhetoric reflects the current MAGA cult political mindset.

In brief: Butschle in LinkedIn posted that he worked at the House of Corrections (HOC) in Franklin from 2002 to 2024 under the supervision of Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) from 2009 to 2013, and in May 2013, the HOC became the Milwaukee County Reintegretion Center, which the Milwaukee County Executive appointed the superintendent to manage the center and the center was no longer managed by the MCSO.

96-year-old Dolores Huerta Passed Away, Known As The Former NFWA Co-founder Who Admitted Consensual And Non-consensual Sex With The Late UFW Leader César E. Chávez

Huerta passed away on Wednesday in Bakersfield. California. She became well known for exposing her secret sexual encounters with the late former UFW leader César E. Chávez, which led to his legacy being erased nationally.

By H. Nelson Goodson 

Hispanic News Network U.S.A.

October 24. 2026

Bakersfield, California - On Wednesday, Dolores Huerta, 96, the former co-founder of National Farm Workers Association (NFWA), which later became known as the United Farm Workers (UFW) union, an agricultural advocacy organization has passed away. Huerta was also the founder of the Dolores Huerta Foundation. 

In late March 2026, Huerta in a New York Times (NYT) article admitted that she had a consensual and non-consensual sexual affairs with the late UFW leader César E. Chávez in 1960 and 1966, which resulted with two children who she gave away. Chávez had been deceased for more than 33 years and Huerta's confession led for the Chávez legacy to be immediately erased, leading to Chávez's name be taken down from city streets, schools and etc..., including taking down most of Chávez's statues and memorials around the country.

Chávez at the time was married, and Huerta kept her sexual encounters with Chávez a secret in order to continue fighting for farm workers rights during the UFW movement.

Huerta's legacy has been also tainted by her own admission of having a consensual sexual affair with Chávez and having a child from him, while he was married, which many women today wouldn't want their daughters to follow in the footsteps of Huerta.

Since Chávez has been deceased for more than 33 years, he can't defend himself against Huerta's and others allegations raised against him.

Also in March, several women alleged in the New York Times article that they were sexually assaulted by Chávez when they were under the age of 15, but they never outed (never told their parents) or filed any alleged sexual assault complaints with local police at the time, but decided to come out public more than 33 years after Chávez's death.

Those allegations continue to be unproven today.

Huerta indicated in the NYT article, that she decided to make her prior sexual relationship with Chávez public after learning that two other women had come forward to expose Chávez for alleged sexual assault allegations when they were under the age of 15.

If Huerta would have exposed Chávez's alleged inappropriate sexual behavior in the 1960's to 1966, perhaps other alleged victims (young girls) would have been spared and Chávez would have been held accountable, but Huerta kept her sexual encounters with Chávez a secret until late March 2026.

The Dolores Huerta Foundation is facing a lawsuit by a former employee. 

• The Plaintiff: Ruth Sanchez, who worked at the foundation for five years.

• Core Claims: The 25-page lawsuit lists 11 complaints, including wrongful termination, whistleblower retaliation, disability discrimination, unpaid overtime (alleging 110 uncompensated hours from 60-hour workweeks), misuse of a $95,000 grant, nepotism, and unreimbursed expenses.

MATC Top Administrators (2 Deans & 1 Provost) Allegedly Fired By President Anthony Cruz And Then They Were Walked Out By Security

Multiple high level administrators at the Milwaukee Area Technical College were allegedly terminated and walked out of the technical college by security.

By H. Nelson Goodson 

Hispanic News Network U.S.A.

October 12, 2026

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Monday, Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) learned from a credible source that multiple Deans and Provost from the Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC) had been unexpectedly terminated on Monday by MATC President Anthony Cruz and were walked out of the college by security escort. Two former MATC Deans and a Provost who were upruptly terminated were identified as Dr. Phillip King, Ed.D., the Executive Vice-President and Provost (reported directly to MATC President Cruz); Dr. Josephine Gomez, Ph.D., the Dean of Community Education (had managed the Walker's Square MATC Education Center facility) and Dr. Michael J. Sitte, Ph.D., the Dean of the Creative Arts.

Dr. Gomez was the last highest Latina ranking administrator at MATC.

MATC has not officially released a press release confirming the recent terminations involving two Deans and a Provost.

Additional terminations of targeted personnel are expected to be forced out in what many have claimed to be a major employee related alleged turmoil that has erupted under President Cruz. 

Also, HNNUSA has learned recently that Carlos Aranda, a Professional License Counselor at MATC has been targeted as well by Dr. Cruz's administration for his social media postings relating to what has been transpiring at the technical college under the failing Dr. Cruz administration. Aranda was given a final written warning on September 13, 2026 related to his social media postings and return from medical leave conditions, also his employee advocacy role at the technical college was stripped, but Aranda has appealed their final written warning decision.

Dr. Cruz came under fire in August 2025 after deciding to eliminate the Multicultural Student Services after more than 50 years of providing services to Latino, Asian, Native American and African-American students. Four of its student service specialists were also terminated, but they were able to file a discrimination complaint against MATC with the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development Equal Rights Division. (HNNUSA article: https://hispanicnewsnetwork.blogspot.com/2026/05/insight-matc-lack-of-leadership-and.html?m=1)

MATC under Dr. Cruz is facing a $2.5M deficit for 2027. (HNNUSA article: https://hispanicnewsnetwork.blogspot.com/2026/06/matc-public-budget-hearing-shows-25m.html?m=1)

In response to Dr. Cruz's recent elimination of top administrators and employees, Aranda wrote a letter to the MATC District Board of Trustees.

Dear District Board Members,

I call on the Board to pause position eliminations that may affect employees who have raised concerns or filed complaints about workplace practices until those decisions receive a fair and independent review. No employee should have reason to fear that speaking up could cost them their job.

I am particularly concerned about the circumstances surrounding the Dean of Creative Arts. Dr. Cruz publicly thanked the dean for his service, yet I understand that the dean’s position was eliminated and that he was escorted from the College by security after submitting documents related to his concerns. The sequence and manner of these events warrant a thorough, impartial investigation. The Board should determine whether the decision and its implementation followed College policies and respected the employee’s rights.

The Board must also examine how employees are treated when their positions are eliminated. What compassion and fairness are reflected in the process? What transition assistance or continuation of benefits is offered to affected employees? I am concerned by reports that employees may receive no benefits package to support them through this transition. The Board should establish the facts and assess whether the support provided is fair and adequate, considering each employee’s service, the circumstances of the separation, and the impact on their family. Position elimination is an organizational decision with serious consequences for people’s lives; the College must treat those affected with dignity.

I urge the Board to reconsider the Department of Community Engagement and its leadership structure, including the manager and vice president positions. Restructuring should prioritize restoring the Multicultural Student Services Office and reinstating the four specialists and one librarian whose terminations I believe were unjust. The loss of these positions marked the beginning of serious disruption and a decline in trust at the College.

Restructuring must confront past decisions and prevent further harm. The Board should also consider the risk of litigation, additional costs, and reputational damage when evaluating these actions. I ask the Board to review the roles of the vice presidents and assistant vice president and ensure that College leadership has the integrity and judgment to help President Cruz correct past mistakes and rebuild trust.

MATC is an educational institution, and its actions should reflect kindness, justice, integrity, and respect for human dignity. Employee well-being must be treated as a core institutional responsibility. The Board should require transparent, fair processes and ensure that employees who raise concerns are protected from retaliation.

I ask the Board to investigate these matters, report its findings, and take meaningful steps to restore trust and ensure that employees facing position eliminations are treated fairly and with compassion.

Thank you for your attention.

Respectfully,

Dr. Carlos A. Aranda

Editor's note: According to the Faculty and Staff list at MATC, Dr. King, Dr. Gomez and Dr. Sitte are no longer listed as employees. 

A shockwave among employees at MATC has spread throughout the echelons of the faculty and staff lineage and many have becomed worried and scared that they will be next in line to be terminated.

Apparently, many prior employees, faculty, including the 4 Multicultural student service specialists, mostly people of color have been terminated including mostly women who weren't given an opportunity to transfer to other positions due to the lack of transparency and leadership under Dr. Cruz.

Dr. Cruz on Tuesday notify MATC faculty and staff including employees of what just occurred at the technical college.

Candidates Dumb And Dumber In Wisconsin Running For Governor Have Failed To Address The Nearly $3B Share Revenue Rip-off In Milwaukee County

Why hasn't Dumb or Dumber running for Wisconsin Governor addressed the Milwaukee County Share Revenue rip-off?

WI: Both candidates, Dumb and Dumber who are running for Wisconsin Governor have definitely failed to address the alleged illegal Share Revenue rip-off in Milwaukee County during their campaign trail in 2026.

Just in case you don't know, Milwaukee County pays more than $3B per year in share revenues to the state under Act 12, and in return, the state sent back $331M (2025) to Milwaukee County to operate per year. 

Every year, Milwaukee County faces a deficit shortfall, and in 2026, the projected County deficit will be $46M, which $331M of share revenues returned to Milwaukee County from the state is not nearly enough for Milwaukee County to operate efficiently. (2026- Milwaukee County Adopted-Operating-Budget-.pdf https://share.google/NBaJb0IHCIIQctwln)

Neither Dumb or Dumber have addressed the Milwaukee County share revenues rip-off during their campaigns.

Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley (D-Milw) who is a candidate for Governor has done nothing to address this major taxpayer issue, but has suggested to raise the County tax by a fraction of a percentage. Why should Milwaukee County taxpayers pay more taxes when they pay more than enough taxes per year?

U.S. Congressman Tom Tiffany (R) is a clone to Trump and Tiffany hasn't done anything either to address the state's rip-off of Milwaukee County share revenues, which is also controlled by the Republican/MAGA led legislature.

The outgoing Democrat Governor Tony Evers has done nothing either!

Also worth noting, neither local public elected officials (Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors) and state elected public officials (state Representatives and Senators in Milwaukee County) have addressed the Milwaukee County share revenue rip-off while in office.

Milwaukee County taxpayers and interested parties should file a class action litigation to challenge the Republican controlled share revenue rip-off in Wisconsin.

Fortunately, Wisconsinites have a choice on November  3, 2026, to vote for Dumb or Dumber, but a write-in option does exist.

Wisconsin Capitol Police Offense/Incident Report Regarding Complaint Filed By WI State Rep. Greta Neubauer (D-Racine) Against WI State Rep. Sylvia Ortiz-Velez (D-Milw)

Breaking in Wisconsin: The full Capitol Police Offense/Incident report dated September 3, 2025 released regarding the Stalking and Threatening allegations made by Wisconsin State Representative Greta Neubauer (D-Racine) against Wisconsin State Representative Sylvia Ortiz-Velez (D-Milw).

October 4, 2026

Rep. Neubauer in the police report alleged that Rep. Ortiz-Velez had threatened to shoot legislators and Neubauer told Capitol Police investigators that Ortiz-Velez had allegedly threatened to expose to the media (the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and Hispanic News Network U.S.A.) that Wisconsin State Representative Priscilla Prado (D-Milw) had allegedly said, "Who do I have to sleep with to get a bill pass around here?" (Page 25, paragraph 5), and that Prado was allegedly promiscuous and was sleeping with other members of the legislature including Republicans, and frequently consumed alcohol. (Page 22)

Wisconsin State Representative Kalan Romal Haywood II who recorded Rep. Ortiz-Velez on the phone saying, "Greta is trying to come to my front yard with two bitches. I would not fight, I would shoot them both with a AK." Haywood told Capitol Police investigators that he regarded Ortiz-Velez's statement as a metaphorical, not literal. He didn't believe that Rep. Ortiz-Velez was a threat to anyone. (Page 14)

Also, Rep. Ortiz-Velez told Capitol Police that Neubauer and other Democrats in the Wisconsin State Assembly were attempting to stop her from testifying in the Assembly floor against Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley who had announced that he was running for Wisconsin Governor. Rep. Ortiz-Velez was instrumental in passing a bill to limit County executives from abusing their power during state of emergency situations. Apparently, Crowley exceeded his authority as Milwaukee County Executive during the Covid pandemic in 2020.

Capitol Police found no probable cause to criminally charge Rep. Ortiz-Velez in Madison, but Rep. Prado filed a complaint against Rep. Ortiz-Velez for threatening to expose her inappropriate personal conduct with the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office and Ortiz-Velez was charged with one misdemeanor count for disorderly conduct. Ortiz-Velez pleaded no contest and was fined $300.

The Negligent WEC Dismissed The Residency Complaint Against Democrat Nominee Ismael Luna Filed By WI Rep. Sylvia Ortiz-Velez In The Milwaukee Southside 8th Assembly District

Rep. Ortiz-Velez claims the WEC failed to make a criminal investigation referral against Luna, who allegedly lied where he actually resided.

October 2, 2026

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Friday, Wisconsin State Assembly Representative Sylvia Ortiz-Velez (D-Milw) released a press release indicating she will seek accountability against Democrat nominee candidate Ismael Luna who allegedly lied where he resided. So far, Luna failed to make his GPS cellphone information public confirming that he actually stayed at 1423 W. Walker Street in the 8th Assembly District.

The Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) sent Ortiz-Velez and Luna a letter with their conclusion citing "The Wisconsin Elections Commission does not find reasonable suspicion that Ismael Luna violated Wis. Stat. $$ 12.13(1)(a) and (b), (3)(a), (ag), and (c). Nothing in the complaint proves reasonable suspicion that the address the Respondent listed on his campaign documents and as his voter registration address, 1423 W. Walker Street, is not his residence. The Commission hereby dismisses the complaint pursuant to Wis. Stat. $ 5.05(2m)(c)4.", (no evidence or probable cause) to make a criminal investigation referral against Luna for lying about his actual address, but the ironic situation (you can't make this up folks), the WEC mailed their WEC decision to Luna's primary address at 5786 S. Honey Creek Drive address, which the Luna registered campaign and his Declaration of Candidacy states that his alleged residency address is at 1423 W. Walker Street in the Southside of Milwaukee. (HNNUSA article link: https://tinyurl.com/4pmmjyhe)

The WEC debacle to sent their decision to Luna at the address in question at S. Honey Creek Drive only indicates that the WEC was negligent and failed to do a credible investigation to Rep. Ortiz-Velez's complaint against Luna. Luna's failure to make his GPS cellphone records available to Rep. Ortiz-Velez and the WEC indicates that he can't prove that he actually stayed at the W. Walker Street address. Luna's in a prior response to Rep. Ortiz-Velez's WEC complaint stated, he didn't stay time to time at his W. Walker Street and he didn't stay at the address primarily on the weekends. (HNNUSA article link: https://tinyurl.com/bvb4bwsh)

Rep. Ortiz-Velez says in a press release, that the WEC's decision to decline to issue a criminal referral in the residency and election fraud complaint filed against Luna, ...is not just disappointing—it is a grave disservice to the integrity of our democracy. Although, I recognize the limited authority of the  Wisconsin Elections Commission, I anticipate other authorities will continue with their investigations, concerning other issues related to this matter. Our electoral system stands or falls on transparency, accountability, and the unwavering enforcement of our laws. Without them, public trust in the democratic process erodes. 

“This formal complaint was backed by compelling, documented evidence—property records and neighborhood testimony—that cast serious doubt on Mr. Luna’s residency claims. The mandate that candidates legally and verifiably reside in the districts they seek to represent is not a bureaucratic detail; it is an essential safeguard of representative democracy.

“By declining to refer this matter for criminal investigation, the WEC sends a dangerous signal that Wisconsin's election and residency laws can be disregarded without consequence. This decision risks opening the door to manipulating statutory requirements and eroding the foundation of fair representation. Election integrity is not negotiable—when rules are bent, the voices of Assembly District 8’s legitimate residents are silenced, and our community’s trust is betrayed.

“Despite my profound disagreement with the Commission’s decision, my resolve to protect the people of Milwaukee and the sanctity of Wisconsin’s elections is stronger than ever. I will relentlessly fight for tougher oversight, unambiguous statutory safeguards, and uncompromising enforcement—because the stakes for our democracy could not be higher.”

Ortiz-Velez has served as the State Representative for Wisconsin's 8th Assembly District. A dedicated advocate for Milwaukee, her legislative priorities focus on economic development, community safety, affordable housing, and safeguarding the integrity of democratic institutions.

Rep. Ortiz-Velez is running in the 8th Assembly District as a write-in candidate in the November 3rd General Election 2026. (Facebook link: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1F98YJD9Wt/)

Scandal: Democrat Assembly Candidate Ismael Luna Snitched On Child Sex Offender Diego Rodriguez's Conviction To Party Leadership In Late January Indicating He Was A Better Candidate

The Hispanic News Network U.S.A. article that first reported that a Wisconsin convicted child sex offender working as the campaign manager for Wisconsin State Assembly Representative Priscilla Prado's re-election campaign and who also actively campaigned for candidate Ismael Luna in the 8th Assembly District, and who was the Co-chair of the Latino Caucus in the Democrat Party of Wisconsin has gone viral.

Hispanic News Network U.S.A.

September 24, 2026

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Thursday, Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) has learned that a Wisconsin felon who was convicted for a child sex crime had been allegedly considered by the leadership of the State Assembly Democrat Caucus and the Assembly Democrat Campaign Committee (ADCC) to run against Wisconsin State Representative Sylvia Ortiz-Velez (D-Milw) in the 8th Assembly District, but the Democrat Assembly leadership later learned from Ismael Luna, himself in late January to early February 2026, that Diego Rodriguez, 32, the then Co-chair of the Latino Caucus in the Democrat Party of Wisconsin was a felon who was convicted in 2016 for use of a computer to facilitate a child sex crime. Three misdemeanor charges for having sex with a child aged 16 or over were dismissed in a plea agreement with prosecutors in Waukesha County, but were read on the sentencing report. Rodriguez was sentenced to 10 years in prison, 5 years incarceration and 5 years supervision, according to court records.

Rodriguez moved into the 8th Assembly District after buying a $121,000 home to run for office. 

According to the Dan O'Donnell Show in WISN radio on Thursday, O'Donnell revealed that Democrat Assembly nominee candidate Ismael Luna previously learned that Rodriguez was being considered by State Assembly Democrat Caucus leadership to run against Rep. Ortiz-Velez, so Luna who is a member of the Latino Caucus in the Democrat Party of Wisconsin looked up Rodriguez's Wisconsin court records on CCAP, and learned that Rodriguez was a convicted pedophile. Luna then snitched to the Democrat leadership in the party that Rodriguez was a convicted pedophile. Wisconsin State Representative Greta Neubauer (D-Racine) is the current minority leader in State Assembly Democrat Caucus and also a leader in the Assembly Democrat Campaign Committee leadership.

The Wisconsin State Assembly Democrat leadership next option was to support another candidate to challenge Rep. Ortiz-Velez, which was Luna who later won the Democrat nomination in the August Primary Election 2026 with more than 2,000 votes, after more than $500,000 and dark money was allegedly funneled into Luna's primary election campaign.

HNNUSA contacted Rep. Ortiz-Velez in regards to the State Assembly Democrat Caucus leadership alleged attempt to recruit Rodriguez to challenge her in the Primary Election in August, but once the Democrat leadership in the Assembly and the Democrat Party of Wisconsin in Milwaukee  County learned of Rodriguez's felony conviction from Luna, they decided to back Luna, in response, Rep. Ortiz-Velez would not admit or deny what actually occurred, but O'Donnell allegedly confirmed that Neubauer and party Democrats in the inner circles of the political party knew since late January that Rodriguez was a convicted pedophile.

Luna who was exposed by O'Donnell as the known whistleblower who actually snitched on Rodriguez's child sex felony conviction to other Dems so, he could get their support and get the ADCC to help finance his campaign through donations actually soldout Rodriguez, but Luna allowed Rodriguez to campaign for him and even accepted Rodriguez's campaign donations totalling $250. (Dan O'Donnell Show link: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/19XUy6gXkF/)

Rep. Ortiz-Velez filed a Wisconsin Election Commission (WEC) complaint claiming that Luna allegedly made false claims that he resided at the 1400 block of W. Walker Street, but according to Ortiz-Velez's complaint, he does not live there. Ortiz-Velez requested Luna to released his cellphone GPS records to confirm that he actually lives and sleeps at the 1400 block of W. Walker Street. Luna has yet to release his cellphone GPS records. (Ortiz-Velez's filed WEC Luna complaint link: https://tinyurl.com/4pmmjyhe)

Luna officially filed a Candidacy of Declaration and registered to vote at the W. Walker Street address.

Luna in response to the WEC complaint stated, that he doesn't stay at the 1400 block of W. Walker Street residence from time to time and doesn't stay there primarily on the weekends.

Luna claims he is moving or has moved to another residence in the 8th Assembly District.

The Heartland Post reported that Rodriguez donated $100 to the Ismael Luna for Assembly on June 14 and $150 on May 19, 2026. (Heartland Post article link: https://heartlandpost.com/sex-offenders-donations-included-a-lawmaker-who-voted-no-on-grooming/)

Rodriguez also actively campaigned for David Crowley for Governor Campaign during the Primary Election.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (MJS) also reported that after Wisconsin State Representative Prado learned of the HNNUSA article exposing Rodriguez as her current campaign manager for re-election, she immediately fired him. Also, Luna told the MJS that Rodriguez is not welcome to attend his events, and the Democrat Party of Wisconsin cut Rodriguez's ties to the Latino Caucus in the Democrat Party of Wisconsin. (MJS article link: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Hws4BxenK/)

Luna has not indicated, if the Luna campaign has decided to returned Rodriguez's campaign donations totalling $250.

Also, Rodriguez filed Prado's re-election campaign financial donations report with the WEC.

The Immediate firing of Rodriguez by Rep. Prado, the Luna campaign not allowing him to attend events by Ismael and the Democrat Party of Wisconsin cutting ties with Rodriguez only shows the hypocrisy and betrayal against its own membership in the Democrat Party. 

They all threw Rodriguez to the wolves in order to save themselves, in other words, they threw him under the bus without remorse.

He was sentenced to 10 years in prison, with five years incarceration and five years of supervision. He is no longer under supervision. (Article link: https://www.fox6now.com/news/waukesha-man-a-youth-leader-at-a-church-accused-of-having-sexual-relations-with-teen-boy)

Rodriguez has been a registered sex offender from January 22, 2016 and his registration will end in June 3, 2040, according to Waukesha County court records and the Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry records.

Update: On Tuesday, September 22, 2026, Wisconsin State Assembly Representative Priscilla Prado (D-Milw) after becoming aware of the HNNUSA article regarding Child Sex Offender Diego A. Rodriguez, she immediately fired him and is no longer her Prado re-election campaign manager, and Democrat nominee candidate Ismael Luna also says that he doesn't want Rodriguez around his campaign or events, and the Democrat Party of Wisconsin just threw Rodriguez,  a Democrat under the bus as well, according to the latest article of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (MJS). 

It shows how quickly politicians can turn on you and throw you under the bus, no matter what you have accomplished. (MJS article link: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19N288UbgS/)

Minneapolis, Minnesota - On Thursday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (USICE) and Enforcement Removal Operations (ERO) agent Christian Jeremiah Castro, 52, of McAllen, Texas was charged in state court (Minnesota) with four counts of second-degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime. Castro was taken into custody after appearing at a Hennepin County court on September 17, 2026. (HNNUSA article link: https://hispanicnewsnetwork.blogspot.com/2026/05/wanted-usice-agent-christian-castro-52.html?m=1)

According to a press release by the Hennepin County District Attorney's Office regarding previously filed criminal charges, on January 14, 2026, Castro fired his weapon through a front door and into a home with multiple people inside. The bullet struck Julio Sosa-Celis in the leg and lodged in the wall of a child’s bedroom.

During Castro's first appearance, Hennepin County Attorney’s Office (HCAO) prosecutors argued for $500,000 unconditional bail and $350,000 conditional bail. The court set bail at $400,000 and $200,000, respectively.

The terms of bail are:

• No contact with witnesses
• No possession of weapons
• Surrender of passport and electronic monitoring
• Supervised release
• Pre-signed waiver of extradition

“The process of holding Mr. Castro accountable for firing his weapon through a front door, striking Julio Sosa-Celis, endangering the lives of others, and falsely reporting a crime has begun,” Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said. “Every defendant, including Mr. Castro, is entitled to a fair trial and he will receive one. My thoughts today are with the victims whose lives were upended because of this incident.”

Both Mr. Sosa-Celis and Mr. Aljorna were charged with federal crimes based on Mr. Castro’s false reports. Those charges were later dismissed when video was produced that definitively countered Mr. Castro’s claims.

Castro’s next Minnesota state court appearance is scheduled for November 3 at 1:30 p.m..

Castro is also facing federal charges for making false statements in the frivolous federal criminal complaint filed against both Castro and Alfredo Alejandro Aljorna. (District of Minnesota | Christian Castro Indicted by Grand Jury for Making False Statements | United States Department of Justice https://share.google/HFums5DeWYIkG5NH1)

Castro and another USICE agent (has not been identified) lied in a federal crime report saying they were attacked by Sosa-Celis and Aljorna, which a security camera surveillance video from a nearby location captured the shooting contradicting Castro's claims.

On Friday, September 18, 2026, Castro appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Elizabeth Cowan Wright in Minnesota and pleaded not guilty to 6 federal counts for providing materially false statements. He was released on s $75,000 bond, must remain in GPS monitoring, stay in Minnesota or Texas and must request approval for travel by the court, no contact with victims or witnesses and had surrendered his passport.

Castro is considered a flight risk by Minnesota authorities and might have planned to cross into Mexico to avoid state and federal prosecution, despite his flight risk, he was granted bond by both the state and federal courts.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Thursday, José López, 93, originally from the town of Charcas, in the State of San Luis Potosi in Mexico passed away in Milwaukee County, he first opened the López Bakery in 1973 in the Southside of Milwaukee.

According to López's obituary, López emigrated to the U.S.A. from Mexico in 1967, moving to Milwaukee in 1969 with his wife Amparo, where he worked various jobs baking and saving up to establish a bakery. In 1973, he rented a small space inside a Mexican grocery store on the Southside.

Pabón-Pérez remembered as a former professional wrestler from Puerto Rico in the 1960's and a Korean War Veteran before spending decades working with youths and senior citizens at the United Community Center in the Southside of Milwaukee.

September 12, 2026

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Saturday, César Antonio Pabón-Pérez, 98, passed away in Lee's Summit, Missouri after spending decades in Milwaukee forging programs at the United Community Center (UCC) to help kids at risk and kept them off the streets. Pabón-Pérez was well respected for his ability to help make the UCC a thriving multi-million community non-profit organization today, and worked at UCC for 35 years before retiring and then volunteered at UCC afterwards.

The fitness center at UCC was named after him. Pabón-Pérez, who was an Army Sergeant also received the Congressional gold metal in 2016 by former President Barack Obama for his service in the Korean War with the Borinqueneers in the 65th Infantry Regiment from Puerto Rico.

After returning to Puerto Rico from the military, he went to college and later became a special education teacher. Pabón-Pérez was then hired by the Milwaukee Christian Center to work with young people with behavioral problems, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

In the 1960's,  Pabón-Pérez was also a professional TV wrestler known as the Superman of Puerto Rico.

He managed the Spot at South 6 Street, which later moved to S. 9th Street and became the UCC. Where he later became the senior exercise instructor and weight room orientation instructor at UCC.

According to Julio Pabón, his son, "He was beloved by so many and did many inspirational things with his very long life. He was also known as the cofounder of the United Community Center. After the spot burnt down, he used a letter, signed by Richard Nixon to raise money that was used to purchase the old Church that became the gymnasium, which is now the theater space at UCC. Although he wasn’t the top decision maker at UCC, mainly because he wanted to be on the street level working directly with the community, he was instrumental in creating the culture that existed in that space. He had his arms opened to all and I carry that legacy with me as I teach in the elementary level. I’m grateful for all of his teachings."

Annette Rivera-Pili also says, "My Uncle Emilio Velez, who at the time was his best friend, and they both had a vision to be a part of the community and to help youngsters get off the streets and have a purpose. Unfortunately, my uncle could not see his dream become a reality because he passed away of leukemia at the age of 46 and Mr.Pabon made sure that he would go forward with this dream, which today is UCC that’s a very important part of the story thank you for sharing. In response to Julio Pabon, your father will never be forgotten!!"

Memorial services for Pabón-Pérez will be held at 1:00 PM on September 24, 2026, at Royer Funeral Home, 100 Royer Lane, Grain Valley, MO, with a visitation beginning at 12:00 PM. Burial services with Full Military Honors will follow at 3:00 PM at the Higginsville Veterans Cemetery in Higginsville, MO.
