Waukesha, WI - Fiesta Waukesha 2010 drew few attendees at Frame Park over the weekend then expected, according to vendors. Some festivalgoers speculated on prior allegations that police were reporting illegal immigrants they encountered during traffic or just walking along the downtown Main St. to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Last year, large crowds of Hispanics attended the three day festival compared to this year's event sponored by La Casa de Esperanza, a non-profit organization.
A new ICE policy allows police to contact them for immigrant removal, a deported immigrant Micheal Vela-Garcia confirmed. Vela-Garcia says, an ICE official he befriended told him that a new ICE policy allows state, county and local law enforcement agencies from throughout the country to detain and report illegal immigrants they encounter to ICE for pick up and deportation.
In Early June, Waukesha Police Chief Russell Jack, when contacted neither confirmed or denied the allegations.
