The open borders policy is coming home to roost. Late last week the Prairie du Chien Police department posted the following to it’s Facebook page:

On Thursday, September 5, 2024, at approximately 12:30 p.m., the Prairie du Chien Police Department responded to the 300 block of East Wells Street for a physical disturbance. Upon arrival, officers received information that a male suspect had been physically and sexually violent towards an adult female. A female juvenile was also located and found to have been injured during the physical altercation that took place. As a result of the investigation, the male suspect was arrested and taken to the Crawford County Jail.

The suspect was identified as, Alejandro Jose Coronel Zarate, 26 of Venezuela. He was booked into jail for Domestic Disorderly Conduct, two counts of Domestic Battery, Strangulation/Suffocation, Physical Abuse to a Child, Disorderly Conduct and two counts of 2nd Degree Sexual Assault. Coronel Zarate also had warrants through Dane County, WI for Strangulation/Suffocation, False Imprisonment, Battery, and Disorderly Conduct.

Additionally, Coronel Zarate is suspected of having an affiliation with a known violent transnational criminal organization known as “Tren de Aragua”, who are known for a variety of criminal activities, such as homicide, abduction, extortion, drug trafficking, arms/weapons trafficking, human smuggling, and human trafficking (according to the National Gang Intelligence Center & the Department of Homeland Security).

For what it’s worth, we found this political report to be fascinating for more than one reason.

CBS talked to voters at the Wisconsin State Fair last month, and we are left with a couple of takeaways. One, this is certainly a swing state. Two, the State Fair has never looked better. The B-Roll from this segment would provide a lot of great shots for a television commercial!
