Reps. Tiffany and Van Orden Demand Answers from Dane County Sheriff on Migrant's Arrest Amid “Non-Cooperation” Policy
WASHINGTON, DC- Reps. Tom Tiffany (WI-07) and Derrick Van Orden (WI-03) sent a letter to Dane County Sheriff Kalvin Barrett demanding answers on Alejandro Jose Coronel Zarate, a Venezuelan migrant who is not a U.S. Citizenaccording to the Prairie du Chien Police Department.
Mr. Coronel Zarate was recently charged and arrested with domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, and strangulation by the Prairie du Chien Police Department. However, he reportedly already had active warrants in Dane County for similar offenses, including false imprisonment and battery.

Tiffany and Van Orden wrote to ask for additional information regarding Dane County law enforcement's interaction with Mr. Coronel Zarate.
