KCE reached out to the home’s owner, Steve Rezmer, who hung up on KCE when asked about the raid. We then heard from Rezmer’s attorney, Patrick Cafferty who told KCE that he can’t comment on the situation, but noted that his client has not been charged with any crime.

FBI spokesperson Caroline Clancy, of the Milwaukee field office told KCE in a statement:

“I can confirm the FBI requested assistance from the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office to conduct court authorized law enforcement activity. As the investigation is ongoing, I’ll hold off on providing further details at this time.”

At the time of the raid, Rezmer was the director of the AFC Union Racine Soccer club. All evidence of him being in charge was scrubbed recently from its website. A spokesman for the AFC Union told KCE in a statement:

    1. doesn’t
      anyone’s
      home.
      What
      Somers?
      C’mon, people, make a little bit of an effort here. Also, remember what the FBI did to The Donald.

      31
      23
      1. I don’t have too make an effort this ain’t being graded and it definingly isn’t no grammar course you must live in Somers you must be one of those Thugs

        7
        16
        1. nah, that weirdo’s near the Mexican border, if you’ve ever followed the wild west that is known as the comments, you would know. Google the address, big ‘ol houses. Thugs wouldn’t be able to live in this area. More likely a diddler or some other crime. By using your thinking you must live in Chicago.

          4
          4
          1. Thugs come in all price ranges and house sizes and they can definitely live in big ‘ol houses I’ve witnessed it and NO i do not live in Chicago at all and if i did that would have nothing to do with it.

            9
            2
              1. Your so comical names don’t hurt those that don’t live those lives you must live in Somers so sad

                1
                2
              2. “YOU MUST LIVE IN SOMERS”

                Is that an insult? I would try to understand your thinking but you have none.

                5
                1
          2. Ruh-oh I hope u ain’t right ….. he’s a kids soccer coach …… and it appears RASA is scrubbing him from websites?

            5
            1
          3. I think it’s some kind of inappropriate stuff sexual immoral type, yeah he’s probably a diddler, or a Epstein Islander.

        2. You don’t have to be a thug for the feds to come raid!! People are so illiterate today and try to be funny when making comments on serious situations when they should just mind their own business

      1. Well I’m white not a thug but white and could only dream of owning something like that. So keep racial shit to yourself

        12
        1
    2. Only thug that can afford that neighborhood is a white one an like some one said only ones there gone be white if you from Wisconsin u can ride threw the damn neighborhoods no thug can afford that shit unless he w kingpin an we don’t got not one that police eve gone find in a neighborhood like that

      1
      4
      1. It’s not about color….”thugs” can be ANY color. I’ve seen “thugs” of all different colors and races in really nice, expensive neighborhoods as well as basic apartments.
        I worked for a realty group and we saw ALL kinds. Any human being, black white or other could be a thug, or a bully or a criminal. Whether they’re a king pin or not, they could live anywhere….

    3. Probably donated to the republican party. That’s all the fbi does. Goes after political opposition.

      8
      6
    4. It’s gotta be something EXTREMELY SERIOUS LIKE A DIGITAL IMAGE OF STICK FIGURE NAKED HIGH SCHOOL CHEERLEADER AT THE SOCCER FIELD

  1. I get it’s interesting and maybe even questionable to have 20 law enforcement vehicles in a neighborhood at any time of day. But until there are charges it’s really just curiosity of the neighborhood that is all that needs satisfying.

    I’m sure a handful of the neighbors know who this guy is, what he does and may even be able to speculate on what his “troubles are”, but to flash a initially “nothing story” out here just because I can is not a reason to drag this guys name into the public for all to gawk at, just because we can.

    12
    5
  2. Poor guy may have had to resort to unsavory activities just to make ends meet considering what his property taxes probably are……

  3. SWM better go to the mercantile & git some rope , just in case. Hopefully this is just a bad business deal or IRS shit

    2
    1
      1. You wish. Actually, they don’t care about the other rambling dementia patient, the one who actually fits that description. The left always accuses the right of what it is actually doing.

        21
        9
        1. The left, with the actual educated psychologists, taught the right what words like projection mean. It’s almost comical watching the righties learn the meaning of certain behaviors they themselves embody. Besides the complete lack of imagination and creativity of the right, it’s hard to believe the same group that denounces therapy and scoffs at mental health would be leading the way on psychiatric analysis of the left. Like I said, comical.

          2
          1
          1. I’m waiting for the left to tell me what a thug is. I learned the term “unprecedented” thanks to the left.

  4. Heard he is being sought for possibly being a Republican. (can’t have “any of those kind” in Somers).

    5
    5
      1. According to property records the house was bought 9/12/2012 by Steve and Jessica Rezmer. Assuming Jessica is his wife, I did a quick google search and there is all kinds of information about a Jessica Rezmer, who is a DO. She practices emergency medicine in Milwaukee County. I haven’t found anything factual to determine if it’s the same Jessica Rezmer as the one who appears to have bought the house with Steven.

  5. FBI raid might be similar to opening scene in Canadian TV sitcom “Schitt’s Creek”, there goes the artwork, computers, jewelry, etc.

    Steve might be a Grayslake Community High School graduate. (Go easy on FIBS, Wisconsin, U.P., and part of Minnesota were Illinois territory until statehood).

    Wife Jessica appears to be an emergency room doctor in Milwaukee.

    May involve that RASA soccer and tournament complex in Franksville, WI. Big operation.

    Always tell the truth (especially under oath), feds already know the facts and correct answer to every question. Good luck.

  6. He is (was) the soccer director of AFC Union which is in the process of merging with the Rush soccer organization here in Kenosha. Youth soccer is big business these days. Hopefully his issues aren’t related to this merger.

      1. Trump should kick all of them out. That way Americans can harvest their own fruits, vegetables, various crops..not to mention cotton and create jobs for the less fortunate at the same rate of pay as the “Illegal Aliens ” were compensated. Putting Americans back to work again!!! SWM…you better have a H.S./GED diploma or you gonna be cutting my grass…Anonymous Muse LLC

        1
        2
  7. He is still completely involved with Rasa since and has been seen at the Score soccer facility. The Rasa board is totally responsible for the safety of the children .
