Multiple people including the cook inside the food truck were injured including several customers by the sidewalk ordering food. (Rivera’s Video: https://tinyurl.com/2w7cbz2c)

Three individuals were in the vehicle, the driver attempted to leave the crash scene, but were detained by a group of spectators that gathered at the scene until police arrived. The vehicle driver seemed to have been driving under the influence of alcohol, which his passengers also exhibited that they were under the influence of alcohol.

The Marta’s Tamales food truck sustained substantial damage in the crash, according to Rivera.

Rivera says, that he invites for locals to patronize Marta’s Tamales Restaurant at the 551 W. Becher Street to help them assist with the food truck damages.

Scoutmaster Ryan M. Antcsak, Candidate For 8th Aldermanic District Indefinitely Suspended From Boy Scouts Of America Over Political Flyer Stapled On Scouts Troop 11 Recruitment Letter In Milwaukee

Antcsak claims that two candidates that he is running against in the Aldermanic 8th District and Milwaukee County Supervisor District 12th led to his indefinite Scoutmaster position suspension, possibly ending in termination from the Boy Scouts of America Troop 11 leadership role in Milwaukee.

March 29, 2024

Milwaukee, Wisconsin – On Thursday, Ryan M. Antcsak, a former Milwaukee County House of Corrections officer and a former Republican candidate for the State Assembly on social media (Facebook) claimed that he was indefinitely suspended from his Scoutmaster leadership position in the Boy Scouts Troop 11 in Milwaukee. Antcsak says that he had dedicated 23 years of his life to the Boy Scouts of America and on Thursday he learned of his suspension by a letter from the Boy Scouts Council notifying him of his indefinite suspension.

Antcsak also says that his suspension could possibly lead to termination. Apparently, Antcsak stapled his current political campaign flyer for Alderman to the Boy Scout Troop 11 recruitment letter and then, the Boy Scout Council allegedly received many complaints from supporters of Milwaukee Alderwoman JoCasta Zamarripa who he is running against and from supporters of Milwaukee County Supervisor Juan Miguel Martinez who Antcsak is running against as a write-in candidate.

The Boy Scouts of America political policy: The Boy Scouts of America must not, through its governing body or through any of its officers, chartered councils, Scouters, or members, involve Scouting in political matters. However, this must not be interpreted to prevent the teaching of ideals of patriotism and good citizenship as required to fulfill the Boy Scouts of America’s purpurse.

Antcsak was not allowed to be on the Milwaukee County Supervisor ballot for the 12th District because he wrote on his nomination papers that he was running as a Republican, both the Milwaukee County Supervisor and City of Milwaukee Aldermanic election races are non-partisan.

The Milwaukee County and City elections are on Tuesday, April 2, 2024. If Antcsak is defeated in both the Supervisor and Aldermanic races, he will allegedly be without a job.

In 2012, the MSJ reported that Scoutmaster Antcsak’s Troop 11 were wearing a racist deemed patch showing a family running (crossing a road), which went viral and the Boy Scouts of America ordered for Troop 11 (used Troop 11 Border Patrol) to remove the racist patch. Antcsak said at the time that his Troop 11 would use and keep the label Border Patrol.

No Planned César E. Chávez Day 2024 Observance At City Hall In Milwaukee, Nor At Southside Chávez Placita

No César E. Chávez Day (Birthday) observance and celebration planned at City Hall in the City of Milwaukee, nor at the Chávez life-size bronze statue location on the Chávez BID 38!

March 29, 2024

Milwaukee, Wisconsin – The 9th annual César E. Chávez Birthday observation at City Hall in City of Milwaukee is not scheduled to be celebrated due to the Chávez Birthday falling on Easter Sunday, March 31, 2024.

Many offices at City Hall will be closed on Good Friday, March 29, 2024.

Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) checked any available news (press releases) mentioning, if the Chávez observance would take place at City Hall and apparently no info has been released by Milwaukee Common Council President, Alderman Jóse G. Pérez, and the City Clerk’s Office including the Cavalier Johnson Mayor’s Office.

Last year, the Chávez Birthday observance was announced a few days before Chávez’s Birthday after HNNUSA reported that no information was available, if City Hall would officially observe the Chávez Birthday celebration.

9 years ago, the Milwaukee Common Council spear headed by Alderman Pérez led the approval of an optional Chávez Holiday for the City of Milwaukee employees.

Also, their is no planned Chávez Birthday celebration at the Chávez Placita where a $50,000 bronze life-size Chávez statue is located at the 900 block of S. César E. Chávez Drive in the Southside of Milwaukee.

The Chávez life-size bronze statue is located in the property of Supermercado El Rey.

Milwaukee’s Southside became the 8th location in the nation and the 1st city in the Midwest to unveil a Chávez life-size bronze statue in 2016.

The United Farm Workers (UFW) union leader Cesár E. Chávez would have been celebrating his 98th Birthday on March 31, 2024, if alive. Chávez passed away in 1993 at the age of 66.

Chávez, a military veteran from California was well known for his Mexican-American Civil Rights movement nationally including Wisconsin in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s during the boycott of grapes campaign that later led for Latino (Mexican-Americans) farm workers to earn better wages and better housing conditions for migrant farm workers.

Recently, the Milwaukee County Transit System installed a César E. Chávez commemorative bus stop shelter at the 800 block of S. César E. Chávez Drive.

A second Chávez Dr. bus shelter is located at W. Greenfield Ave. and S. Chávez Dr..

Havana, Cuba – At least 72% of the population in Cuban live in poverty and 21% live under the poverty level and forego breakfast, lunch and dinner due to a lack of earning an affordable living wage attributed to a large scale of unemployment in the Island, unless a person is working for the Cuban government and is a loyalist to the regime in political power.

Those living in poverty in Cuban receive a piece of bread for each individual in a household.

Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) received a leaked photo from Cuba showing the actual piece of bread, that each person receives from the Cuban regime, according to sources inside Cuba.

Cuban loyalists including government workers and military with the Cuban regime receive better supplies of food available to them. Also, those working in Cuban tourist attractions get better food and a sort of income.

TikToker Father Adam Kotas Laicized By Catholic Pope Francis For Allegedly Warning Public Of Pedophile Clergy At Places Of Worship

The Archdiocese of Las Vegas released a letter in early March saying that Father Kotas was laicized by Pope Francis with no possibility of appeal, but Kotas in a personal video claims that he was laicized because he warned the public about the pedophile clergy that is lurking to sexually assault unsuspecting children attending parishes and places of religious worship.

March 24, 2024

Las Vegas, Nevada – On March 1st, the Archdiocese of Las Vegas posted a one page letter in English and another in Spanish to announced that Catholic Pope Francis has decided to laicized (remove from priesthood, including all privileges) Father Adam F. Kotas, 39, and Kotas was also prohibited from appealing Pope Francis’s decision. The letter about Kotas’s laicization from Archbishop George Leo Thomas didn’t include any reference (reasons) why Kotas was laicized by Pope Francis. (Letter post link: https://www.lvcatholic.org/news/letter-regarding-mr-adam-kotas)

But, Kotas in a personal video in social media (TikToK, Facebook and YouTube) says, that he was laicized for simply warning the public about the pedophile clergy lurking to sexually assault children in parishes and places of religious worship. He told his social media followers to protect their unsuspecting children from the pedophile clergy, which apparently the Roman Catholic Church clergy at Vatican City didn’t like to be exposed due to its mishandling of hundreds of pedophile priest cases and multimillion settlement lawsuits with victims who were sexually assaulted by pedophile Catholic priests. (Kotas video: https://youtu.be/uZAPZ6PD09A)

Kotas Facebook page has more than 3.7M followers and is popular priest in Las Vegas for his candid and comical (humor) way to preach in his Adam Kotas ministries media. Follow Kotas on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adamkotass

The March 1, 2024 Archdiocese of Las Vegas posted letter says, “The Archdiocese of Las Vegas has received notification from the Diocese of Santa Rosa in California of the involuntary laicization of Mr. Adam Kotas, formerly of the Diocese of Santa Rosa, who briefly served in Las Vegas. This process was handled through the Diocese of Santa Rosa, where Mr. Kotas was incardinated as a priest. This laicization was approved by His Holiness, Pope Francis (in December 2023) and has no possibility of appeal.”

“Laicization means that all rights and privileges associated with the priesthood have been removed, and that the individual has returned to the lay state. Although the Sacrament of Holy Orders imprints an indelible character on the soul of the priest which empowers him to administer the sacraments, the laicized priest is prohibited from celebrating Mass or the other sacraments.

“Moreover, Mr. Kotas is prohibited from using the title “Father” (referring to a Catholic priest) or wearing clerical attire.

“Adam Kotas is no longer a priest in the Catholic Church.

“All sacraments celebrated by Mr. Kotas in the “Polish National Church” are presumed tobe either invalid or illicit by the Catholic Church, and anything done by Mr. Kotas following his laicization are considered invalid or ilicit by the Catholic Church.”

March 20, 2024

Milwaukee, Wisconsin – On Thursday, March 20, 2024, the Wisconsin Hispanic Scholarship Foundation, Inc. (Mexican Fiesta) held its annual César E. Chávez celebration at the Flores Hall honoring the late United Farm Worker’s Union leader and his farmer worker’s civil rights movement. http://hispanicnewsnetwork.blogspot.com/2024/01/recap-3-day-mexican-fiesta-economic.html

The César E. Chávez national holiday is celebrated on March 31th.

Also, two book authors Jesús Salas and Antonio Guajardo were at the annual Chávez celebration to distribute their books during a signing session. Salas authored “Obreros Unidos” and Guajardo, the “Mexican Fiesta Milwaukee” history in Milwaukee. Both Ernesto Chacon and Salas are well known for their leadership in the late 1960’s to early 1970’s that involved peaceful protests for farm worker’s rights and engaged in protests that included sit-ins to get access to higher education for Latinos at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) on August 27, 1970 at UWM Chapman Hall chancellor’s office that sought to bring down the barriers of the blatant discrimination practices that kept Latinos from enrolling at the University. Their success to bring down the barriers of discrimination at UWM led for thousands of Latinos in Milwaukee and the State of Wisconsin to graduate with university degrees and the creation of the Spanish Speaking Outreach Institute, later renamed the Roberto Hernández Center at UWM. https://youtu.be/FzOpOxI_GKw

Chacon and Salas held a Charla (discussion) with Civil Rights Activists that helped shape and influenced change in Wisconsin and led to the enforcement of existing Wisconsin Farm Worker’s laws and the acceptance (enrollment) of Latinos at UWM.

A historical exhibition of photos from the Lucha por La Justicia by David Giffey were displayed at the Flores Hall.

A photo exhibit of the late Arturo Martinez and Gregorio Montoto in remembrance of the two former WHSF executive Board members was also displayed on Thursday at the Flores Hall. The exhibit of the late Martinez and Montoto was created by Margarita Sandoval Skare and Mexican Fiesta.

SB 78 Bill Allowing DACA Recipients To Be Appointed As Law Enforcement Officers In Wisconsin Died In The Senate Organization Committee

The Wisconsin Senate Bill 78 that would allow DACA recipients to become sworn law enforcement officers died in the Senate Organization Committee.

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

March 19, 2024

Madison, Wisconsin – Last week, the Wisconsin State Senate ended its session allowing Wisconsin State Senate Bill 78/Assembly Bill 51 to died in the Wisconsin Senate Committee. SB 78, if passed by the State Senate would have allowed for certain legally present aliens (DACA recipients) to be appointed as law enforcement officers in State. https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/2023/proposals/sb78

Unfortunately, SB 78 was referred to the State Senate Organization Committee in February 20 where it died.

Wisconsin State Senator Tim Carpenter (D-Milw), one of the co-sponsors of the bill when contacted by Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) on Wednesday, Carpenter confirmed that the Senate GOP killed SB 78 bill when it wasn’t added to the last day of the Senate session on March 12.

Also a second DACA bill, AB 822 (SB 826) relating to allow DACA recipients of referred action under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program to become eligible to receive occupational licenses in Wisconsin failed to be approved in the State Assembly, which the bill died after the State Assembly session ended on February 22, 2024. https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/2023/proposals/ab822

The Wisconsin State legislature is controlled by the Republicans and some Trump MAGA loyalists, which most are anti-immigrant, despite DACA recipients pay taxes and undocumented immigrants in Wisconsin pay more 5han $90M in combined taxes per year.

Currently, undocumented immigrants are prohibited from applying for driver licenses as a safety measure for safe roads.

The hypocrisy: Wisconsin and Mexico have a trade agreement totalling more than $6.1B, which benefits Wisconsin with 92,500 jobs supported by trade with Mexico and 4,942 jobs supported by Mexican companies totalling 97,442 jobs. But today, the Wisconsin Republican/MAGA controlled legislature won’t allow for Mexican nationals in the State to drive safe by allowing them to apply for driver licenses or permits.

Fact: The Wisconsin and Mexico trade agreement totaled more than $6.1B in 2019 (Report 2020, Embassy of Mexico in the U.S. – Economic Affairs Office), with Mexico importing goods to the State of more than $2.8B, and Wisconsin exporting more than $3.3B to Mexico. https://embamex.sre.gob.mx/eua/images/stories/economicos/tradebystate/2020/WISCONSIN.pdf
