A gang member from Salvador who lives in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Gabino Guzman-Lovato is accused of stabbing another man with a knife on behalf of a gang because Guzman-Lovato is in a gang and felt the other man disrespected him, according to court records. The victim then struck Guzman-Lovato with a rock. When Guzman-Lovato, who works near Sturgeon Bay, was discovered by police, he falsely blamed fictitious “black men” for hitting him with the rock, according to the complaint. Gabino Guzman-Lovato has an ICE detainer holding him in a Wisconsin jail.
Each day, from Sept. 25 through the presidential election, we tell you about a non-citizen currently in a Wisconsin jail who is accused of committing a horrific crime. ICE placed immigration detainers on each of them. We are highlighting a range of serious crimes.
Real victims, communities, and taxpayers are paying the price of weak Biden/Harris border policies, which are abetted by politicians like U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin. Every state is a border state.

According to the criminal complaint:
A Green Bay police officer responded to Chicago Street in Green Bay for a “weapons call” and discovered multiple individuals on the scene who spoke only Spanish.
A witness said he was in a garage with his uncle and cousin when he saw Guzman-Lovato and another man having a verbal argument.
He heard Gabino “say he was part of a gang and MAH-R needed to shut up and respect him.” Then he saw Gabino and the man punching each other.
Gabino pulled a knife from his pocket, holding the blade facing down, and cut MAH-R on the arm, face and hand. He then attempted to run away.
When the officer responded, he found the victim with large amounts of blood on his shirt and pants, a laceration on his left cheek, a laceration on his upper left arm, and bleeding from his right hand.
He went to the hospital and received stitches.
The complaint continued:
The victim said he was at his cousin’s house where Gabino was temporarily staying and Gabino took out a knife and attacked him.
Gabino said he was going to kill him. He reached for a rock and struck Gabino.
Gabino has threatened the victim in the past and they know each other from living in Salvador. Gabine said this was on behalf of the gang and he tried to stab the victim in the knife. He cut his hands when he grabbed the knife. When he fell to the ground, Gabino cut him in the arm. He chased the victim with the Knife, the complaint says.
Gabino said he was working a job near Stuegon Bay and then met co-workers to drink beer in a car at a gas station in Green Bay after being dropped off. He blamed black males for hitting him on the head with a rock, the complaint said.

Open in new tab ICE Detainers Plunge Under Biden-Harris
Illegal immigrants committing crimes is not a story that the corporate media and Vice President Kamala Harris want to tell, especially as border crossings have surged.
Under Biden/Harris, the number of U.S Border Patrol “encounters with migrants crossing into the United States from Mexico in December 2023” hit “the highest monthly total on record,” according to Pew Research Center.
The Biden administration issued just under 300,000 detainers from 2021 through the first quarter of 2024, a rising number, according to Trac Immigration, a project of Syracuse University. However, “overall 50 percent more ICE detainers were issued during the Trump presidency (FY 2017 – FY 2020),” Trac says.
Detainers “are critical for ICE to be able to identify and ultimately remove criminal aliens who are currently in federal, state or local custody,” ICE says. ICE detainers ask local law enforcement to hold a non-citizen inmate for 48 hours before release into the community so ICE can pick them up.
Inmates with detainers are only the people that ICE discovers and where ICE decides to act. Some jails, such as Dane County’s, don’t honor all ICE detainers and don’t give ICE 48 hours to pick up the inmates before release. At the other end of the spectrum stands a jail like Waukesha County, where the sheriff received federal immigration authority through a program called 287g.
ICE detainers “are often used as one indicator of the intensity of what is called ‘interior enforcement’ in contrast to ‘border enforcement,’ Trac writes.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) “has long claimed that detainers, often called ‘immigration holds,’ are an essential tool needed to apprehend and deport individuals not authorized to remain in the U.S.,” the site says. “Detainers are supposed to be targeted at noncitizens who have committed crimes here in the U.S.”
In addition, the U.S. Border Patrol has arrested more than 15,000 criminal non-citizens in 2024 alone, including 27 murderers and 202 people for sexual offenses. But those are just the people they catch.
From 2006 to 2023, ICE placed detainers on more than 14,000 non-citizens living in Wisconsin, Trac says.
The first year of Biden-Harris saw the lowest numbers of ICE detainers issued since at least 2006. The Milwaukee and Dane County Jails had the most ICE detainers issued of any jurisdictions in Wisconsin during the time frame below, according to Trac.
The corporate media tend to focus on studies that show illegal immigrants commit crimes at a lower rate than non-citizens or they focus mostly on the other side of the coin – say, illegal immigrants whose labor helps keep dairy farms alive. The citizens who committed crimes had a right to be here; illegal immigrants did not. A tougher border policy might have prevented illegal immigrant crimes from occurring 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, regulate compliance with ICE detainers,” The Immigrant Legal Resource Center says. Some states have made compliance mandatory, but Wisconsin is not one of them.
“Legally, the requirement of probable cause means ICE can only issue a detainer against (a) a noncitizen, who (b) is already ‘removable.’ A removable noncitizen is someone who can be put in removal proceedings for possible deportation,” the center says.
“ICE describes a detainer as a request to a ‘law enforcement agency to notify ICE before a removable individual is released from custody and to maintain custody of the noncitizen for a brief period so that ICE can take custody of that person,'” Trac says.
