There were at least 21 foreign nationals in the Milwaukee County Jail on a snapshot of a recent day, according to a list that Wisconsin Right Now received via an open records request. They are charged with serious violent felonies, including child rapes and firearms offenses, in some cases. In many cases, they have extensive criminal histories in Wisconsin.
One, Lesent Lewis, a citizen of Grenada, is accused of attempted homicide for allegedly attacking his wife on Valentine’s Day with a “sword-type weapon, shaped like an ax.”
We filed an open records request asking the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Department for all of the ICE detainers both requested and rejected, as well as a list of all foreign nationals (non-citizens) who were currently in the Jail. A couple of the inmates are already released; the list represents a snapshot in time of the number of foreign nationals who were in the jail at the time the request was fulfilled this February 2025.
“Upon inspection, an extensive search of our records indicates we have no records responsive to your request,” the Sheriff’s Department responded. “The computer program that is used to scan ICE detainers into our system, does not allow a search query using the parameters that you have requested. ICE detainers can only be searched by accessing each individual inmate’s profile.”
Other Sheriff’s Departments have easily provided ICE holds to Wisconsin Right Now.
The Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Department did provide this list of foreign nationals currently in the jail. We have now requested, through open records request, the ICE holds requested and rejected for the following inmates. We have excluded the Puerto Rican on the Sheriff’s list because Puerto Ricans are American citizens from birth.
