Speaking in small-town Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin,
where a noncitizen is accused of violently attacking a mother and her daughter, former President Donald Trump vowed to end sanctuary cities and "liberate Wisconsin from this mass migrant invasion" of murderers, rapists, and other illegal immigrant criminals.
"On November 15, you have to vote for Trump because we’re not going to let it happen," Trump said, standing next to Congressman Derrick Van Orden and Patty Morin. An illegal immigrant
is accused of murdering Morin's daughter Rachel in a Maryland park while she was jogging, and she implored Wisconsin voters to vote for Trump.
"I really do believe he's going to close our borders," she said, describing her daughter as being "the American mom. She took care of her kids. She worked hard. And because of the open border, her life was taken away."
Every day until the election, Wisconsin Right Now has been reporting on a different case in which a noncitizen is held by ICE in a Wisconsin jail for a serious crime. So far, we have reported on:
-
- Wilmer Yobany Martinez-Sanchez, who is accused of molesting an 8-year-old child in Brown County, Wisconsin, while an earlier criminal case for felony theft was pending.
- Nelson W. Mijango Santos, who is accused of partially “disemboweling” a man with a silver folding knife in a Madison parking lot before leading police on a dangerous pursuit.
- Williams J A Monge, who is accused of repeatedly raping a 6-year-old girl in Fitchburg, Wisconsin, leaving her bloodied and in pain.
- Fidel Martinez-Cruz is accused of sexually assaulting a woman he didn’t know in a Hyatt hotel sauna in Green Bay, Wisconsin, as well as a teenage girl in a second attack. All of them have ICE detainers on them.
"This is insanity what's happening to our country," Trump said, questioning why the Biden/Harris administration would allow people into the country
who have committed hundreds of thousands of violent crimes. They include 13,000 murderers. Trump
is citing statistics that the head of ICE provided to a Congressman in a letter this week.

Flanked by posters of illegal immigrant criminals in Wisconsin, Trump said that Harris is "not going to change," adding that Biden/Harris have failed to secure the border. He said the Prairie du Chien suspect, Alejandro Coronel-Zarate, was "charged with holding a mother and daughter captive against their will and sexually assaulted them," calling him a "vile monster."
"He was arrested and released in the sanctuary city of Minneapolis and by the way I'm going to end all sanctuary cities," he said, adding that people want illegal immigrant criminals out of the country; it's the politicians who support sanctuary cities.
Wisconsin Right Now
has taken the lead in reporting on the Coronel-Zarate case, obtaining jail booking records that show that the Hennepin County Jail in Minnesota, where Tim Walz is governor, had him in custody for almost three days but then released him, even though Madison had already established probable cause against Coronel-Zarate in a separate choking case. He crossed the border in 2023, according to Prairie du Chien police. Madison police have not explained why they did not arrest Coronel-Zarate when he was released from the Hennepin County Jail, which has a policy of not cooperating with ICE in cases lacking an immigration judge's warrant.
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.
From 2006 to 2023, ICE placed detainers on more than 14,000 non-citizens living in Wisconsin, according to Trac, a project that tracks immigration data.
Fifty percent "more ICE detainers were issued during the Trump presidency (FY 2017 – FY 2020),” than during the Biden-Harris administration,
Trac, a project of Syracuse University, says.
Trump said that Coronel-Zarate "assaulted another woman in the sanctuary jurisdiction of Dane County." Although Madison police and the Dane County Sheriff never had Coronel-Zarate in custody (by the time he was charged there, he never showed up for court), both jurisdictions do not always cooperate with ICE. For example, the Dane County Sheriff does not honor all ICE requests and was listed as noncooperative by ICE.
Trump said Coronel-Zarate then came "to this small beautiful idyllic Wisconsin town."
He cited several other cases throughout the state. Trump called the Biden/Harris immigration policies a "betrayal of every citizen" and said if they continue "we will be transformed into a third-world hellhole."
"I won't let it happen to Prairie du Chien," he said.
Trump added that he knew the news media would say "he's a mean person," but he said, "We have to take care of the people of our country. Our country is being destroyed by these people. Are they stupid, are they evil, do they want us to be destroyed? It's so obvious that it can't work. Go and take a look at Springfield" Ohio.
WRN recently reported from the ground in Springfield,
where we found citizens who say they were displaced from jobs and apartments.
"Look, you gotta get these people back where they came from," Trump said. "You have no choice or we will see crime the likes of which nobody has ever seen before."
He said that the Republican Party "has become the party of common sense," adding, "We're not going to have men playing in women's sports. We want to have a border, good education, low taxes, and a strong military."
He said the immigration bill that Harris criticizes Republicans in Congress for not passing was a "terrible bill. It was so bad it would have allowed 2 million people to come into our country." He said Harris could go back to the White House and ask Biden to sign an executive order to close the border right now.
Instead, she and Biden authorized a program "to fly in migrants," including those in Haiti, in addition to the influx of illegal immigrants over the border. They "relocated almost 5 percent of the population of Haiti and 6 percent of the populations of Honduras and Nicaragua," he said. He also accused Harris of having "lost migrant children."
"Four years ago, I handed Kamala Harris the most secure border in history," Trump said.
"She is a disaster." He said Harris just visited the border because "her poll numbers are tanking," but added, "You've got to get out and vote."
