The ACLU of Wisconsin says Brown County made a deal with ICE in April to transport detained immigrants.
The agreement accessed using open records requests details that ICE will provide funding specifically for detention and transportation services with a contract value of $90,000.
Included in the agreement, ICE will purchase $63,000 in detention services from Brown County Sheriff's Officials, which are reimbursed at a rate of $70 per detainee per day, and an increase to $27,000 in transportation services reimbursed at $36 per hour.
Brown, Sock, and Osaki counties are just the latest Wisconsin counties agreeing to work with ICE, others including Winnebago County have been highlighted by the ACLU in the past.
A UTV rollover in Glenmore takes the life of a 21-year-old Denmark man.
Brown County Sheriff's Officials say the accident happened Sunday night around 9.50.
When deputies and rescue personnel arrived, they found a man trapped beneath a flipped UTV.
Life-saving measures were performed, but the driver did not survive.
Sheriff's Officials say speed, alcohol, and a lack of seat belt usage are factors in the crash.
It seems like the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is always releasing press releases, reminding riders of ATVs and UTVs to be responsible.
They're doing it again this year because they've seen fatalities rise again.
According to DNR data, there have already been 21 fatal crashes this year.
It's a similar pace to last year when 40 were recorded.
The states saw just 21 fatal crashes in 2022 and 32 in 2023.
DNR officials say the increased use of vehicles has contributed to the increase in fatalities, as well as the overall number of crashes, injuries, and citations issued.
Attorney General Josh Call has announced Wisconsin is joining another multi-state lawsuit against actions taken by the Trump administration.
The new lawsuit challenges a rule change by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
It argues the rule chain would make it more difficult for residents to obtain health care coverage under the Affordable Care Act.
In a press release, Attorney General Call said the change would decrease the total enrollment in Wisconsin's individual marketplace and make premiums less affordable.
A Northeast Wisconsin non-profit serving people with disabilities is waiting to hear if federal changes to Medicaid will affect their clients and caregivers who overwhelmingly rely on the program for their health care needs.
Judith Ruiz Branch with Public News Service Reports.
The non-profit CP serves about 200 people in Northeast Wisconsin that have complex physical or developmental disabilities, nearly all of whom use Medicaid to pay for their services.
Julie Tessloff is the Director of Adult Day Services and says about 75% of clients are in wheelchairs and unable to reposition themselves.
She explains the exercise program CP offers is crucial to prevent patients from developing pressure sores.
A sore on the butt costs a lot of money, it's like anywhere from 30 to $150,000.
Once one of our clients has a pressure sore, it stays with them for a long time so they might heal up, but they're going to be susceptible to another sore in that same area without active movement and repositioning.
She says their program focuses on functional skills training using adaptable equipment funded through grants and community support.
For Public News Service, I'm Judith Ruiz Branch.
159 years ago, a German immigrant opened what became Krieger's True Value Hardware in Nina. It operated in downtown Nina for 100 years before being moved to its current location on Winnecani.
Today begins the sale to empty the store. The current owners are retiring and they couldn't find anyone to take it over.
A federal court ruling found Wisconsin must stop denying unemployment insurance to applicants who are also receiving Social Security Disability Insurance.
The court ruled that a 12 year old state law that barred unemployment insurance for Social Security Disability Insurance recipients unlawfully discriminates against people with disabilities.
The law was signed by former Republican Governor Scott Walker in 2013 and argued that people receiving assistance from both programs were double dipping and potentially even committing fraud.
This week through Sunday has been proclaimed aviation week by Governor Tony Evers in recognition of the world's largest aviation celebration.
EAA, Air Vendor 2025, happening this week in Ashkash.
Wisconsin Department of Transportation Secretary Christina Bordman says the event at Whitman Airport highlights WISDOT's Bureau of Aeronautics Commitment to Strengthening WISDOT's Aviation Network.
Attendees are encouraged to visit the WISDOT BOA exhibit in Hangar A to learn more about the WISDOT Airport System and the various aviation programs that are offered across ours.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Good Year Blimp, the tire company fluids first blimp in 1925.
Eventually the blimps were used by the US Navy to spot U-boats during World War II.
Now the three blimps are relegated to public relations events.
Two of them are at EAA Air Vendor this year.
The last time a blimp was at EAA was in 2021 and this is the first time ever that two blimps have attended the Aviation event in Ashkash.
