Foreigner accused of attacking teenager and woman at Green Bay Hyatt

Fidel Martinez-Cruz is accused of sexually assaulting a woman he did not know in the sauna of a Hyatt hotel in Green Bay, Wisconsin. In a second assault, a young girl was also sexually assaulted. The immigration authorities ICE have taken him into custody.

Every day, from September 25th through the presidential election, we'll tell you about a noncitizen currently in a Wisconsin prison accused of committing a heinous crime. Immigration authorities have ordered immigration detention against each of them. We'll highlight a number of serious crimes; the media tends to censor crimes committed by illegal immigrants.

Currently, the case of a non-citizen Venezuelan gang member accused of sexually assaulting a teenager in Prairie Du Chien is grabbing public attention. This is not an isolated incident. Real victims, communities and taxpayers are paying the price for the weak Biden/Harris border policy, supported by politicians like U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin. Every state is a border state.

FILE #2

The defendant: Fidel Martinez-Cruz

Fidel Martinez Cruz.

The prison: Brown County, Wisconsin

The charges: Second-degree sexual assault/unconscious victim; third-degree sexual assault; attempted third-degree sexual assault; fourth-degree sexual assault – three of the charges are felonies, one is a misdemeanor.

Date of crimes: 7 and 19 August 2024

The details: Martinez-Cruz, 25, is accused of sexually assaulting two women while staying at the Hyatt Hotel in Green Bay. He has a home address in Illinois.

The criminal complaint states that on August 19, 2024, an officer was on patrol when he received a call about a sexual assault at the Hyatt Hotel on Main Street in Green Bay. The victim, a 23-year-old woman, was in the lobby with her boyfriend, a 20-year-old man. She was visibly upset, with “tears streaming down her face,” the complaint states.

She said she was in the hotel's sauna when a man she did not know began touching her private parts and placed his genitals “on her lips,” the complaint states. She escaped the man by slapping him and running from the room. Officers began searching for the man, it says.

The man who was accompanying the victim said she ran out of the sauna and said someone had just touched her, so he went and confronted the man in the bathroom. He pushed him to the ground, the complaint states. The suspect was described as a Hispanic man who did not speak English and tried to translate using his phone.

Officers suspected the man was a guest, so they placed surveillance on the skywalk. An officer emailed surveillance photos of the suspect and another man. They checked the license plates, the complaint says. They identified the suspect and went to his room. He was with an 82-year-old man. The suspect's bathing suit was found in the sink and matched a bathing suit in the surveillance photo. He denied sexually assaulting the victim.

That same day, officers responded to a sexual assault reported by a minor. Victim No. 2 is a 17-year-old female. The report states that she reacted “very emotionally” to what happened.

Her mother did not know what happened. She said she was with two friends at the Fiesta Latina restaurant on University Avenue on Aug. 7 when a group of men paid for their food and tried to talk to them, the complaint states.

A friend of the victim wanted to visit the men who had a room at the Hyatt, the complaint states. She drove her friend to the hotel and was about to drop her and her other friend off and leave, but Victim 2 became frightened and followed them inside.

She was given a beer to drink, but her memory of it became blurry. Eventually she woke up and a man named “Jorge” was on top of her, raping her, the complaint says. She pushed him off her and left the room. Her friend was unconscious in another part of the hotel room. She helped pick her up and took her to her car. She said “Jorge” tried to call her, but she ignored his calls. She gave officers his number.

The number was on Martinez Cruz, according to the complaint. Body camera footage from the first incident showed that “Jorge” was Martinez-Cruz, the complaint states. Victim 2 received a lineup that identified Martinez-Cruz as her attacker.

Number of ICE arrest warrants drops under Biden-Harris

The mainstream media and Vice President Kamala Harris do not want to talk about the crimes committed by illegal immigrants – especially given the sharp increase in the number of border crossings.

Under Biden/Harris, the number of “US Border Patrol encounters with migrants entering the United States from Mexico in December 2023” reached “the highest monthly total ever recorded,” according to the Pew Research Center.

According to Trac Immigration, a project of Syracuse University, the Biden administration has issued nearly 300,000 arrest warrants from 2021 through the first quarter of 2024, a growing number. However, “overall, 50 percent more ICE arrest warrants were issued during the Trump presidency (fiscal year 2017-fiscal year 2020),” Trac says.

Arrest warrants “are critical for ICE to be able to identify and ultimately deport criminal aliens currently in federal, state or local custody,” ICE says. ICE warrants require local law enforcement to hold a noncitizen detainer for 48 hours before releasing them into the community for ICE to pick up.

Detainees are only those who are discovered by immigration authorities and where immigration authorities decide to take action. Some jails, like Dane County's, do not honor all ICE warrants and do not give immigration authorities 48 hours to pick up detainees before releasing them. At the other end of the spectrum is a jail like Waukesha County's, where the sheriff was given federal immigration authority through a program called 287g.

ICE warrants “are often used as an indicator of the intensity of so-called 'domestic control' as opposed to 'border control,'” Trac writes.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) “has long maintained that arrest warrants, often called 'immigration detention,' are an essential tool for arresting and deporting individuals who are not authorized to remain in the United States,” its website states. “Arrest warrants are intended to target noncitizens who have committed crimes here in the United States.”

In addition, the U.S. Border Patrol arrested more than 15,000 criminal noncitizens in 2024 alone, including 27 murderers and 202 people for sex offenses. But those are just the people they catch.

From 2006 to 2023, ICE detained more than 14,000 noncitizens in Wisconsin, Trac says.

The first year of Biden-Harris saw the lowest number of ICE warrants issued since at least 2006. According to Trac, Milwaukee and Dane County jails issued the most ICE warrants of any jurisdiction in Wisconsin during the period shown below.

The commercial media tends to focus on studies showing that illegal immigrants commit fewer crimes than noncitizens, or they focus primarily on the other side of the coin — such as illegal immigrants whose labor helps keep dairy farms afloat. The citizens who committed crimes had a right to be here; illegal immigrants did not. Tighter border policies might have prevented illegal immigrants from committing crimes in the first place. The stories are worth telling.

“Although no federal law requires cooperation with ICE, many state and local laws, and sometimes court rulings, govern compliance with ICE warrants,” says the Immigrant Legal Resource Center. Some states have made compliance mandatory, but Wisconsin is not one of them.

“Legally, the requirement of reasonable suspicion means that immigration authorities can only issue an arrest warrant against (a) a non-citizen who (b) is already 'deportable.' A deportable non-citizen is someone against whom deportation proceedings may be pending for possible deportation,” the center explains.

“ICE describes a warrant as a request for a 'law enforcement agency to notify ICE before releasing a deportable individual from custody and to detain the alien for a short period of time so that ICE can take that individual into custody,'” Trac says.
