Wauwatosa, Wisconsin – On Thursday, Xavier Sevilla, 18, of Milwaukee was sentenced to 20 years in prison with initial confinement of 15 years and 5 years of extended supervision for the November 20, 2020 Mayfair Mall mass shooting incident when he was 15 at the time during an altercation with another individual that resulted in eight victims being shot with non-life threatening injuries.

Sevilla went to the Mayfair Mall with a loaded handgun and he fired a 17 shot handgun indiscriminately striking innocent victims after he punched another individual in an escalator and his friends rushed him during an altercation inside the mall. Sevilla took the handgun from his waistline and fired the weapon as a group of individuals fled for their lives.

Sevilla pleaded guilty in January 2023 to 5 felony counts for 1st-degree reckless injury with a dangerous weapon in a plea deal, and 5 other criminal counts were dismissed by the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office in a plea deal agreement. The dismissed criminal counts included, 3 felony counts for 1st-degree reckless injury with a weapon and 2 misdemeanor counts for carrying a concealed weapon and possession of a weapon by a person under the age of 18, which were read into the record on his sentencing hearing.

No Holiday Birthday Celebration Events Announced For 2023 At Milwaukee City Hall And At The Southside César E. Chávez Bronze Statue Outdoor Plácita

Two-days left for celebrating the annual holiday birthday of César E. Chávez, the late United Farm Workers union leader throughout the country except at Milwaukee’s City Hall and at the Southside location where his life-size bronze statue was erected at the placita (plaza) located at the El Rey Supermarket.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin – As of Wednesday, March 29, 2023, there has been no official announcement by both Milwaukee City Hall officials and groups that have sponsored an annual César E. Chávez Holiday celebration at City Hall and at the Chávez Bronze Statue Placita (Plaza) located at the El Rey Supermarket property.
The Chávez national holiday celebration falls on Friday, March 31, 2023.
Today, none of the Hispanic State Assembly Representatives have attempted to introduce an optional Chávez Holiday for State employees, nor have they announced a recognition citation for Chávez Birthday including from the Governor Tony Evers (D) administration.

Former Wisconsin State Representative JoCasta Zamarripa (D) in 2014 attempted to introduce an optional Chávez Holiday for State employees, but the GOP controlled legislature blocked it.
Zamarripa is the current Alderwoman for the 8th Aldermanic District in the Southside of Milwaukee. Also, the Milwaukee Common Council President and Alderman from the 12th Aldermanic District is Jóse G. Pérez.
A lack of GOP support in the state Assembly shows the lack of recognition and accomplishments of the late United Farm Workers labor leader, Chávez.

In April 2014, the Milwaukee Common Council on a vote of 13-1 approved an annual César E. Chávez city worker optional holiday, the resolution was sponsored by the Southside former Alderman T. Anthony Zielinski.

In March 31, 2016, the Chávez life-size bronze statue was unveiled at the El Rey Supermarket property located at the 900 block of S. César E. Chávez Drive in the Southside of Milwaukee.
Milwaukee became the 8th location in the nation and first Midwest City to unveil a Cesár E. Chávez life-size bronze statue.

According to a City of Milwaukee source, a Chávez Holiday celebration event is scheduled at the City Hall Rotunda for Friday, March 31, 2023 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., but no official announcement has been made by City officials.

Rod Richardson, President of the Richardson Companies and Special Asst. to the UMOS CEO contacted Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) and says that “USDA Undersecretary Jenny Moffitt will be visiting the state on Friday to promote the new Farm and Food Workers Relief Program and speak at the annual Cesar Chavez Day event at city hall.” Unfortunately, HNNUSA couldn’t located no press release from the City Hall website, Common Council and Mayor’s Office announcing that Moffitt will be at the annual City Hall Chávez event on Friday.

 

Update: Press release on Wednesday afternoon at around 3:00 p.m. confirming the annual César E. Chávez Holiday celebration at City Hall.



Common Ground Group Wants HACM, A Non-profit To Be Independently Investigated, Held Accountable And Reformed

More than 1,000 members of Common Ground non-profit organization and HACM tenants from various housing authority developments in Milwaukee gathered Sunday to expose the unacceptable living conditions endured by tenants.

Hispanic News Network U.S.A.

March 26, 2023

Milwaukee, Wisconsin – On Sunday, more than 1,000 members of Common Ground (CG), a non-profit advocacy organization including tenants from the the Housing Authority, City of Milwaukee (HACM) gathered at Mount Mary University Bergstrom Hall to call for an investigation of HACM. According to CG, organizers have listened to over 1,215 tenants of the HACM in 17 properties and heard stories of unacceptable living conditions. Video Tenants United: https://youtu.be/kijQ3bGEYG0

The center of the HACM, CG and tenants controversy is Willie L. Hines Jr., Secretary-Executive Director of HACM, who earned a D+ for 2023 from CG for failing to work collaborately with HACM tenants and CG. CG reported that Hines Jr. earns a salary at least $240,000 annually. Hines Jr. is one of the few non-profit directors in the Milwaukee area that earns that much in the City, especially when it gets a combined funding of $287M from tenants rent, Wisconsin Housing Finance Authority (WHEDA – taxpayers) and HUD (taxpayers).

CG reported that the federal government Housing and Urban Development (HUD) audits the conditions of HACM’s physical properties and checks for compliance with HUD regulations. In 2018, HUD gave HACM a “sub-standard” score of 63 out of 100, which below 60 is considered a failing evaluation by HUD.

CG, a non-partisan alliance of 43 congregations, schools, non-profits and small businesses says, that HUD is not able to force HACM to make changes (reform).

HUD when providing taxpayer funding including WHEDA to HACM, they don’t include any stipulation holding HACM accountable for the unacceptable living conditions and they don’t have an audit process to address tenant issues neglected by housing authorities that CG alleged against the HACM administrators including Hines Jr..

As a non-profit organization, HACM is only accountable to its Board of Directors (Commissioners).

The City of Milwaukee mayor only gets to appoint the secretary-director of HACM, which the mayor and the Milwaukee Common Council has no authority over HACM.

Milwaukee Common Council President and Alderman Jóse G. Pérez told the CG assembly on Sunday that he is committed to work with CG including the tenants and would support any legislation (resolution) from the Common Council to assure that all the conditions are met by the HACM management, maintenance including public safety, and hold people accountable.
In February, CG with collaboration with HACM tenants sent a letter to Hines Jr. about six areas of reform that needed to be addressed.

1. Deffered Maintenance: Invest $75M to address deferred and essential maintenance, in consultation with residents, over the next two years.

2. Management: Create a resident-centered management system (including culture, accountability, training and hiring) with residents participating in every aspect.

3. Pest/Rodents: Hire a third-party pest control company to inspect each property for bugs and rodents.

4. Security: Develope and implement a new public safety plan to address crime and safety in and around HACM properties.

5. Tenants Rights: Respect resident rights.

6. Accountability: Fund a full-time ombudsman who would conduct independent and professional investigations of complaints lodged by HACM residents, employees or taxpayers.

On Wednesday, March 17, 2023, Hines Jr. released a 5-page double sided letter in which HACM will take action this year in response to 13 major concerns brought up by multiple residents at the Mitchell Court apartments located at the 2600 block of W. National Ave. in the Southside of Milwaukee. A copy of the HACM letter to residents was provided to Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) by an anonymous source.

Since last year, dozens of residents at Mitchell Court have organized to address certain issues that have resulted at the development and hadn’t been fully addressed by HACM.

Also some residents circulated a petition asking for the replacement of several Spanish speaking (bilingual) HACM property managers in charge of both Mitchell Court and Lincoln Court apartments due to various allegations raised by various residents.

In regards to replacing the two property managers at Mitchell Court, Hines Jr. stated in the letter to residents, “The hiring, placement, and performance management at HACM staff is an internal personnel matter led by HACM’s Human Resources team. We take complaints brought forth very seriously, however, tangible evidence and concrete incidents are are most informative. With that being said, we acknowledge receipt of the petition from Mitchell Court residents and we will remain mindful of it.”

Also multiple residents at Mitchell Court apartments have confirmed that they will be moving out from the Mitchell Court apartments due to existing issues and family members not being allowed to visit them.

In the detailed letter, Hines Jr. confirmed action to be taken to resolve many of the concerns this year that were raised by residents.

Last Summer, Alderwoman JoCasta Zamarripa, HACM administrators, HACM Public Safety and Milwaukee police held outdoor hearings open to neighborhood residents including from Mitchell Court concerning issues affecting the surrounding area.

According to Hines Jr. in the letter, since last July, HACM took additional steps to address criminal activity around the neighborhood and at Mitchell Court, which has decreased criminal activity with additional Milwaukee police patrols and hiring private security staff in addition to the HACM Public Safety personnel.

Concerning pests and rodents, Hines Jr. responded that HACM is currently seeking information about the cost of pest control, inspection and remediation services that could supplement HACM’s in-house pest control program.

Update: On March 29, 2023, more than 20 tenants at Mitchell Court apartments received HACM violations, which for each violation the tenant is automatically accused of violating security of the Housing Authority of the City of Milwaukee including a violation for unsanitary unit and other regardless, if the unit is clean and in safe condition.

The following HACM violation was provided by an anonymous tenant to report the outdated violation documents used by the HACM administration, which in this case, none of the violations were signed other than it has a CC to Alma Arciga, the Mitchell Court property Manager.

Arciga and her office Secretary Krystal Rios including a new maintenance employee and a in-house pest control employee did apartment unit inspections between February 20 to 24, 2023 at Mitchell Court as required annually by HUD regulations.

Apparently, the violation automatically accused the tenant of violating security, which is false, then another false allegation is marked for unsanitary unit, eventhough  the unit is clean and in a safe condition and lastly, the violation document is not signed by whoever issued it without first providing a warning to a tenant as required in the HACM lease and policy handbook updated in 2022 between the tenant and HACM.

Many tenants at Mitchell Court believe that the violation documents were given out to tenants in retaliation for complaining of the unacceptable living conditions at HACM developments including at Mitchell Court as Common Ground made public last Sunday.

The HACM violation documents were delivered by someone who placed on individual apartment doors, where anyone could review them and one tenant confirmed that a violation document for another tenant on the same floor was left on the tenant’s door, which the tenant thought, two violations were for the same apartment unit. The tenant says, whoever left the violations on apartment unit doors violated tenants privacy and allowed for another tenant to unsuspectively review the violation thinking it was for the same unit, which is unacceptable.

According to Hines Jr., retaliation by HACM property managers and administration will not be tolerated.

Update: In July 2023, Alma Arciga was removed as the Mitchell Court and Lincoln Court development manager and assigned to another HACM property as manager. Krystal Rios, Arciga’s former assistant at both Mitchell and Lincoln Courts no longer is employed by HACM attributed to internal personnel reasons.

Vote “NO” On The Wisconsin Republican Bail Amendments Referendum On April 4, 2023 Ballot, Excessive Cash Bail Used In GOP Controlled Counties By Judges For Nonviolent Felonies To Keep People Incarcerated

Excessive cash bail in a Walworth County nonviolent criminal case is just an example how the Walworth County D.A.’s Office and several Circuit Court judges used it as a means to keep someone incarcerated for long periods at a time without being convicted.
By H. Nelson Goodson
Hispanic News Network U.S.A.
March 23, 2023
Elkhorn, Wisconsin – The Wisconsin voters should reject the Republican bail amendments referendum by voting “No” on April 4, 2023, because in Republican controlled counties, especially in the Walworth County Circuit Court system, an excessive cash bail is used for a nonviolent felony compared to violent felonies.
In the case of Kimberlee M. Coronado, 46, a Native American of Waukesha, she was facing multiple frivolous felony charges, but was eventually charged with only one felony count for interfering with the custody of a child-other parent including party to a crime as a modifier, according to Walworth County criminal case # 2023GF000150 posted in the Wisconsin court website records CCAP.
Coronado’s case is not a violent crime, but yet, Walworth County Circuit Court Judge Phillip A. Koss on March 16, 2023 imposed a $100,000 cash bail with a stipulation in bold letters that reads, “DEFENDANT MUST POST $100,000 CASH” with recommendation of the Walworth County Asst. District Attorney Vivien L. TenHaken.
On Thursday, March 23, 2023 an initial hearing for Coronado was held before Walworth County Circuit Court Judge Daniel S. Johnson and Johnson decided to keep Coronado’s excessive cash bail of $100,000 in place without reducing the bail. Coronado, a mother of four is not considered a danger to the public, she is not a flight risk and does not have a criminal history, according to Wisconsin court records.
Attorney Peter Wolff representing Coronado made a motion to modify bail and Walworth County Asst. District Attorney Andrew Herrmann argued against it and Judge Johnson denied motion to reduce the excessive cash bail. Coronado was not in court, but appeared by video and was allowed to make a statement. Character letters were filed and the next initial appearance was scheduled for March 28, 2023 at 1:15 p.m., at the Walworth County Judicial Center room 3045, Judge Kristine E. Drettwan, according to court records.
The purpose of bail in Wisconsin is to ensure a defendant returns to court, not to keep a defendant who is considered innocent until proven guilty incarcerated simply because they cannot afford to post an excessive stipulated cash bail compared to other defendants charged with violent felony charges including bail jumping whose bail is set less than $15,000 to $5,000 in Walworth County criminal cases.
The felony charge stems from allegations that Coronado aided Ethan Valadez, 15, who ran away on January 10, 2023 on his own accord and who was identified as the missing person with autism in Walworth County by the Walworth County Scanner Update Facebook page.
In Ethan’s missing person case, his mother Julie Valadez, 34, who apparently was in another country at the time he ran away from his abusive father was also frivolously criminally charged on February 3, 2023 in Walworth County with multiple felonies.
Julie was frivolously charged with multiple felony counts for interfere with child custody of other parent including party to a crime and interfere with custody after custody order including party to a crime.
Ethan ran away after several Waukesha police including the inept Waukesha County family court Judge Ralph M. Ramirez failed to protect Ethan from his abusive father and ignored his pleas for help in the Julie Valadez v. Ricardo Valadez divorced case # 2018FA000296. Ricardo Valadez, 46, Ethan’s father was not charged for abusing his son, and allegations were raised that the Waukesha Police Department withheld a body camera video showing Ethan telling police that he was being abused by his own father and Ethan’s father telling police that he didn’t want Ethan in his house. Julie requested the video footage from the Waukesha Police Department for a child abuse restraining order, but they withheld the video footage and buried the police file involving a Waukesha police female detective who is heard in the YouTube video (https://youtu.be/hiCIdQaAIeM) by Protective Makua telling Ethan that, if he ran away, he would be detained at the juvenile detention center.

Update: The Walworth County court documents in the Kimberlee Coronado criminal case have been released including the criminal complaint, which several previous felony charges have been dropped and is only being charged with interfering with child custody of other parent including party to a crime. Also, documents include the bail bond transcript hearing where Walworth County asst. D.A. TenHaken assumes that Coronado is a flight risk and would be willing to break bail bond conditions without providing any proof or history that Coronado has ever been criminally charged with bail jumping, but a bail bond risk accessment dated March 16, 2023 indicates Coronado is a low flight risk at following link: https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:VA6C2:773355ff-5bd2-4445-88d0-e9a4e47b7038
On Tuesday, March 28, 2023, a adjourned hearing was held by Walworth County Judge Kristine E. Drettwan and no reduced bail bond motion was made by Attorney Peter Wolff on behalf of Kimberlee M. Coronado. The $100,000 cash bail remains despite Coronado is being held on a nonviolent Wisconsin felony and was accessed as a low flight risk on March 16, 2023. A preliminary hearing is set for April 21, 2023 at 3:00 p.m. in Walworth County Judicial Center room 2065 presiding Judge Peter M. Navis.
The Walworth County D.A.’s Office, the Court including the Delavan Police Department charged Coronado with a felony to enforce the illegal placement of the 15-year-old teen who ran away on January 10, 2023 on his own accord to escape being physically abused by his own father in the Julie Valadez v. Ricardo Valadez divorce case in Waukesha, which Waukesha County family court Judge Ralph M. Ramirez ignored that the teen was being abused multiple times and did nothing to stop it. Ramirez also allegedly engaged in unconstitutional acts and rulings violating Julie’s constitutional and civil rights.
Julie filed a Petition For Writ Of Mandamus And Memorandum on March 23, 2023, with the Supreme Court of the State of Wisconsin. The petition writ cites multiple state and federal laws that Judge Ramirez violated during the proceedings in the Valadez divorce case including his illegal decision to give Ricardo Valadez, the known abuser full custody, who was also caught making a false statement in the course of the case and wasn’t charged for lying in court, according to court transcripts in the divorce case.
Julie who filed for divorce and was under the domestic violence victim protection program under the Wisconsin DOJ was allowed only 2 hours of supervised visit with her son per week by Judge Ramirez, according to a Walworth County criminal complaint filed against Julie who at the time her son ran away from his abusive father, she was out of the country.

Arraignment Set For 46-year-old Kimberlee M. Coronado Who Is Facing A Frivolous Criminal Charge For Interfering With The Custody Of A Child In Walworth County

The Walworth County D.A.’s has officially filed a criminal charge against Coronado.

Updated

Elkhorn, Wisconsin – The Wisconsin State courts website (CCAP) confirmed that Kimberlee M. Coronado, 46, of Waukesha is scheduled for an initial hearing on Thursday, March 23, 2023 before Walworth County Judge Daniel S. Johnson case # 2023GF000150 at 1:15 p.m. at the Walworth County Judicial Center room 3040. Coronado’s frivolous criminal case appeared on the Wisconsin CCAP website on Wednesday.

In an unusual act by the Walworth County D.A.’s Office and court clerk, Coronado’s arrest case wasn’t posted on CCAP until 6 days after her bond hearing on March 16, 2023.

Coronado who is Native American was taken into custody on March 15 and has been in jail without being criminally charged, but she had an initial hearing after being arrested and a cash bail of $100,000 was set, eventhough she has no criminal history and is not a flight risk. Coronado refused to sign the cash bond, according to court records.

Coronado was booked at the Walworth County jail on three felony frivolous charges for child abduction-taking, interfering with the custody of another parent and interfering child custody beyond visitation including conspiracy to commit in each count.

Coronado is now charged with one felony count for interfering with the custody of child-other parent including party to a crime.

The felony charge stems from allegations that Coronado aided Ethan Valadez, 15, who ran away on January 10, 2023 on his own accord and who was identified as the missing person with autism in Walworth County by the Walworth County Scanner Update Facebook page.

If convicted, Coronado facing up to 12 years and 6 months in prison and up to $25,000 in fines for each count of interfering with the custody of another parent.

Coronado has also been outspoken against the widespread corruption at the Waukesha County family court system.

Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) learned that a search warrant was served to Coronado, but there was no arrest warrant that accompanied the search warrant. Also no arrest warrant has been filed on the record. It’s not clear why Coronado was arrested by police without a valid judicial warrant.

In Ethan’s missing person case, his mother Julie Valadez, 34, who apparently was in another country at the time he ran away from his abusive father was also frivolously criminally charged on February 3, 2023 in Walworth County with multiple felonies.

Julie was frivolously charged with multiple felony counts for interfere with child custody of other parent including party to a crime and interfere with custody after custody order including party to a crime.

If convicted on the frivolous charges, Valadez is facing up to 12 years and 6 months in prison and up to $25,000 in fines for each count.

In the Walworth County criminal complaint filed against Julie, it confirmed that the FBI knew about her plight at the Waukesha County family court corrupt system and did nothing. She also complained about the blatant corruption and illegal acts committed against her to the Wisconsin Department of Justice, the Wisconsin Judicial Commission and Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers Office to no avail. They all failed Julie and her children.

Ethan ran away after several Waukesha police including the inept Waukesha County family court Judge Ralph M. Ramirez failed to protect Ethan from his abusive father and ignored his pleas for help in the Julie Valadez v. Ricardo Valadez divorced case # 2018FA000296. Ricardo Valadez, 46, Ethan’s father was not charged for abusing his son, and allegations were raised that the Waukesha Police Department withheld a body camera video showing Ethan telling police that he was being abused by his own father and Ethan’s father telling police that he didn’t want Ethan in his house. Julie requested the video footage from the Waukesha Police Department for a child abuse restraining order, but they withheld the video footage and buried the police file involving a Waukesha police female detective who is heard in the YouTube video (https://youtu.be/hiCIdQaAIeM) by Protective Makua telling Ethan that, if he ran away, he would be detained at the juvenile detention center.

In Brief, Michael J. Abrahamian, the prior Waukesha County family court judge in the divorce case erroneously placed the 4 Valadez children with the abusive father. Julie appealed his decision and the Wisconsin Court of Appeals District II agreed with Julie that Aprahamian erred in placing the 4 children with the abusive father. Judge Aprahamian had no choice but to recused himself from the divorce case.

Then comes along, Judge Ramirez who made no effort to abide by the Wisconsin appellate court decision to reverse Aprahamian’s illegal decision to place the children with the abuser and allowed the abuser to keep full custody of the children giving Julie restrictive visitation, according to the criminal complaint filed against her in Walworth County.

Julie left the country for fear of being placed in jail for exposing the corrupt family court system in Waukesha County under Chief Judge Jennifer R. Dorow and by the presiding Judge Ramirez including Judge Aprahamian in the case.

Waukesha Stay-at-Home Mom and Domestic Abuse Victim Sentenced to Jail and Psychological Assessment for “Failing to Appear” for a Hearing While Barring her from Entry

January 3, 2022

WAUKESHA COUNTY – Wisconsin Judge of the Year, Ralph Ramirez, today sentenced domestic abuse survivor Julie Valadez to 30-days in jail for failing to pay child support to her domestic abuser after he unlawfully placed her 4 children with her domestic abuser, Ricardo Valadez, in defiance of the 2021 Appellate Court ruling pertaining to the case. The Appellate Court also vacated the court’s past attempts to unjustly imprison her, under Judge Michael Aprahamian who nominated Judge Ramirez as “2021 Judge of the Year.”

Judge Ramirez also found Julie in default for not appearing for the hearing to defend herself, despite the fact that she was calling into the courthouse by telephone and waiting in the court’s zoom video waiting room trying to be let in. Judge Ramirez knows that Julie cannot attend in person for safety reasons, but has unreasonably required her to be present to hear her motions in order to find her in default to dismiss them unconstitutionally.

“What this courthouse is doing is beyond unconstitutional. It is un-American,” stated Kathryn ‘Alamea-Xian former federal consultant and expert on anti-human trafficking initiatives during both Obama and Trump Administrations. ‘Alamea-Xian is the executive director of Protective Makua, the domestic abuse advocate agency for Julie.

“It is completely unconstitutional to maliciously penalize an innocent stay-at-home soccer mom who was recognized by court as an undisputed domestic abuse survivor, as well as an indigent party, to pay her domestic abuser child support. It is clearly a scheme made by Waukesha’s courthouse to force her imprisonment or to find her mentally ill in some way in order to terminate her parental rights in bad faith,” she added. “We did away with these kinds of unjust persecutions of women, in the Nineteenth Century, didn’t we?”

Julie left a sham evidentiary hearing last June after appearing and preparing argument for all noticed motions before the court. What transpired in her absence lacked due process. Judge Ramirez continues to demonstrate clear bias exemplified by his blocking her ability to retain counsel as one of many demonstrations of his intent to retaliate against her. As it has become clear that his intent was to place her in jail for no cause, Julie fled and is currently in an undisclosed location for safety reasons not only from her ex-husband’s threats of killing her, which he does not deny, but also from the unjust persecution by Waukesha Court under Judge Ralph Ramirez.

On December 29, 2022, Julie served Chief Judge Jennifer R. Dorow, who is currently running for the State Supreme Court, with a writ of mandamus to recuse the biased Judge Ramirez and GAL Molly Jasmer (who unlawfully fabricated fraudulent truancy records for one of Julie’s sons in order to manufacture justification to unlawfully take all her children. Molly Jasmer previously urged contempt charges against Julie for handing her son his favorite lunch when he was admitted to the hospital due to his father’s continuing abuse and for waving at him as she fought to defend her son from the false truancy petition her son was contesting).

Previous to this, Julie had requested Judge Dorow to remove both Judge Aprahamian and Judge Ramirez from her cases. Her former attorney Will Green also sent Judge Dorow a letter as he argued on record that the Waukesha Court had conspired against Julie to take her children in violation of the Constitution.

“There is no respect for the law or the Constitution in Waukesha,” said Julie Valadez. “What transpires in these courtrooms has no relation to the truth nor does it resemble the practice of law. The conflicts of interest and retaliatory behavior of the entire courthouse has been witnessed by not just myself but many community members. This needs to be exposed and any and all criminal activity of court personnel needs to be addressed so that tax payer dollars serve the constituents and are no longer used to fund the crimes committed against its own citizens.”

“What happened today within the walls of the Waukesha County Courthouse further demonstrates their unlawful retaliation and criminalization of domestic abuse victims in order to favor abusers and allow them to escape accountability. The public must know the dangerous precedent this sets for Wisconsin. Even if victims of domestic abuse successfully appeal unlawful orders, they still are not afforded their right to relief in family court.” Julie said. “What has happened to me can and is happening to numerous innocent moms in Waukesha. And it is not stopping.”

(Also, a glaring issue that was never disclosed by Judge Ramirez and GAL Molly Jasmer is their clear conflict of interest. Molly Jasmer sits on the Board of Directors of Renee Ramirez’s nonprofit organization, Community Smiles Dental. Renee Ramirez is the wife of Judge Ramirez. Judge Ramirez also overpaid Molly Jasmer for working on Julie’s case. This overpayment was never corrected.)

Immigrant Rights Advocate Julie Contreras From Waukegan Illegally Detained By Mexican Authorities For Child Trafficking In Nuevo Laredo

Contreras who in 2020 was recognized by Telemundo Chicago for her 30 years of advocating for immigrant rights was illegally taken into custody by Nuevo Laredo municipality Mexican authorities.

By H. Nelson Goodson
Hispanic News Network U.S.A.

March 19, 2023

Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, Mexico – On Saturday, Julie Contreras, 57, a resident of Waukegan, Illinois was illegally taken into custody by authorities from Mexico’s Federal Attorney General’s Office (FGR), the State of Tamaulipas Attorney General’s Office (FGJT), and the Tamaulipas State Police on allegations for child trafficking.

Contreras who is a Humanitarian Advocate at United Giving Hope NFP attempted to cross into the U.S. at the border crossing in the Laredo, Texas and Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas International Bridge #1, but was denied entry into the U.S. with multiple children. She was then arrested by Mexican authorities in Nuevo Laredo for child trafficking.

Contreras was able to send a Facebook message to Alvira Arellano in Chicago saying that the Mexican military had surrounded her vehicle and that child traffickers in the area will know about it and that she was afraid that she would be killed.

The FGR decided not to criminally process Contreras for child trafficking, since she had parental authority documents for the children to cross into the U.S. The FGR also realized that no valid criminal arrest warrant was issued to detain her.

The FGJT then took custody of Contreras and are processing her on frivolous child trafficking criminal charges.

According to a news article posted in the Entidad 28 Facebook page, the reporter Mario Rivera alleged that Jóse Raúl Rodriguez Ornelas, the Nuevo Laredo Municipality Attorney for the Defense of Minors from the DIF (Desarrollo Integral Familiar/Integrated Family Development) ordered municipality police to arrest Contreras without a valid criminal warrant accusing her of child trafficking.

Update: Contreras was released  on Sunday afternoon by Mexican state authorities in Nuevo Laredo and then she took an air flight out of Laredo around 8:00 p.m., according to a Facebook post on her account.

46-year-old Kimberlee Coronado Facing Felony Charges In Child Abduction Frivolous Criminal Case Involving The Julie Valadez v. Ricardo Valadez Divorce Case

Coronado was taken into custody and is facing frivolous criminal charges for abduction of a 15-year-old teen who on his own accord ran away in January 2023 from his abusive father who told Waukesha police he didn’t want his son at his home, according to a YouTube video released by Protective Makua.

March 16, 2023

Elkhorn, Wisconsin – On Wednesday, Kimberlee Coronado, 46, of Waukesha was taken into custody and is facing 3 frivolous felony criminal charges for child abduction, interfering with the custody of another parent and interfering child custody beyond visitation including conspiracy to commit in each count. The 3 felony charges stem from allegations that Coronado aided Ethan Valadez, 15, who ran away on January 10, 2023 on his own accord and who was identified as the missing person with autism in Walworth County by the Walworth County Scanner Update Facebook page.

If convicted, Coronado is facing up to 15 years in prison and up to $15,000 in fines for child abduction, also facing up to 12 years and 6 months in prison and up to $25,000 in fines for each count of interfering with the custody of another parent and interfering child custody beyond visitation.

Bail bond for Coronado was set at $100,000 cash. Coronado who is a Native American has no criminal history, according to Wisconsin court records, which makes it odd to get an excessive cash bail to simply keep her incarcerated while a frivolous criminal complaint is filed.

In Ethan’s missing person case, his mother Julie Valadez, 34, who apparently was in another country at the time he ran away from his abusive father was also frivolously criminally charged on February 3, 2023 in Walworth County with multiple felonies.

Julie was frivolously charged with multiple felony counts for interfere with child custody of other parent including party to a crime and interfere with custody after custody order including party to a crime.

If convicted on the frivolous charges, Valadez is facing up to 12 years and 6 months in prison and up to $25,000 in fines for each count.

In the Walworth County criminal complaint filed against Julie, it confirmed that the FBI knew about her plight at the Waukesha County family court corrupt system and did nothing. She also complained about the blatant corruption and illegal acts committed against her to the Wisconsin Department of Justice, the Wisconsin Judicial Commission and Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers Office to no avail. They all failed Julie and her children.

Ethan ran away after several Waukesha police including the inept Waukesha County family court Judge Ralph M. Ramirez failed to protect Ethan from his abusive father and ignored his pleas for help in the Julie Valadez v. Ricardo Valadez divorced case # 2018FA000296. Ricardo Valadez, Ethan’s father was not charged for abusing his son, and allegations were raised that the Waukesha Police Department withheld a body camera video showing Ethan telling police that he was being abused by his own father and Ethan’s father telling police that he didn’t want Ethan in his house. Julie requested the video footage from the Waukesha Police Department for a child abuse restraining order, but they withheld the video footage and buried the police file involving a Waukesha police female detective who is heard in the YouTube video (https://youtu.be/hiCIdQaAIeM) by Protective Makua telling Ethan that, if he ran away, he would be detained at the juvenile detention center.

In Brief, Michael J. Abrahamian, the prior Waukesha County family court judge in the divorce case erroneously placed the 4 Valadez children with the abusive father. Julie appealed his decision and the Wisconsin Court of Appeals District II agreed with Julie that Aprahamian erred in placing the 4 children with the abusive father. Judge Aprahamian had no choice but to recused himself from the divorce case.

Then comes along, Judge Ramirez who made no effort to abide by the Wisconsin appellate court decision to reverse Aprahamian’s illegal decision to place the children with the abuser and allowed the abuser to keep full custody of the children giving Julie restrictive visitation, according to the criminal complaint filed against her in Walworth County.

Julie left the country for fear of being placed in jail for exposing the corrupt family court system in Waukesha County under Chief Judge Jennifer R. Dorow and by the presiding Judge Ramirez including Judge Aprahamian in the case.

The following information was submitted to Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) by an individual who remained anonymous.

The following information by the individual as it reads, “One of Julie Valadez’s friends was arrested yesterday on multiple counts of child abduction, custodial interference, and conspiracy. She was just arraigned and bail was set at $100K. Kimberlee Coronado. She sits on the governors board for kids with special needs. Ricardo Valadez was present at her arraignment.”

“Arrest warrants were issued for *** and Julie, even though the appellate court recognized that the father’s custody is unlawful. They are targeting anyone who helps Julie to suppress what she and Ethan are reporting regarding corruption.

“Both Julie and now her son have active refugee applications in progress for political asylum for the unjust persecution by Waukesha Court.

“Charges against everyone comes out of Walworth County where the boy ran away, from his Mexican grandparents home.

“Ricardo Valadez was recorded on police bodycam footage stating repeatedly that he does not want custody of Ethan on Nov 22, 2023. …before calling him a “little bitch” (verbatim), like his mother (paraphrased).”

Update: Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) has learned from a source that the FBI was contacted on March 20, 2023 that Kimberlee Coronado’s constitutional rights have been violated by the Walworth County District Attorney’s Office since, she was taken into custody in Waukesha on March 15, 2023 for multiple frivolous felony charges including child abduction-taking in Walworth County.

So far as of 3:30 p.m. on Monday, March 20, 2023, Coronado remains booked at the Walworth County jail on a cash bond of $100,000.

HNNUSA on March 18, via email requested Coronado’s criminal complaint from the Walworth County D.A.’s Office, which they have yet to release it or file any criminal charges in the Wisconsin CCAP for public and court records info about her next scheduled court appearance.

According to Coronado’s family, she has retained an attorney.

It has been more than 72 hours that Coronado has been held at the Walworth County jail without a criminal complaint being filed and recorded in the Wisconsin CCAP public website records, which strongly indicates that the Walworth County D.A.’s Office might be violating Coronado’s Constitutional rights and are openly violating the following Constitutional amendments, 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th and 14th, according to advocacy groups and multiple citizens that have called the D.A.’s office at 262-741-7198 in Walworth County.

Zeke Wiedenfekd, the Walworth County District Attorney has not released any statement on why Coronado has not been criminally charge or the criminal complaint been filed for over 72 hours.

Coronado had an initial hearing where an excessive bond was set, but it hasn’t been publicly recorded in CCAP.

There’s no public court record that Coronado’s case has been sealed.

Also, Coronado’s attorney has yet to release a statement as well about this unusual case in Walworth County.
