PRAIRIE DU CHIEN, WI - Alejandro Coronel Zarate, 26, a Venuezuelan illegal immigrant and member of the violent gang recently named a Foreign Terrorist Organization by Texas: Tren de Aragua was reportedly arrested in the tiny Wisconsin town of Prarie du Chien on charges that he sexually assaulted a mother and abused her daughter.
According to WXOW, Coronel Zarate has been charged with "2nd Degree Sexual Assault/Use of Force and Child Abuse, he was also charged with two counts of Battery, one count of Strangulation, and one count of Disorderly Conduct." The mother said in the criminal complaint that the assailant was living with her and her daughter and choked her during an argument.
Allegedly when the victim's daughter attempted to intervene, Coronel Zarate grabbed her by the hair and threw her, causing a head injury. The mother also told Prarie du Chien police that he sexually assaulted her twice on September 4th.
Chillingly, the complain notes that when "Victim 1 stated that while he was hurting her he said 'I get away with it. I'm a criminal.'" Authorities reported that the victim spoke in a raspy voice she said was a result of the strangulation and displayed bruising on her neck, arms, and legs. When she went to a doctor he threatened her not to say anything about the assault.
Coronel Zarate is being held at the Crawford County Jail on a $10,000 cash bond.
As reported by Fox News Prairie du Chien Police Chief Kyle Teynor told reporters that the woman and child were both assaulted, "under particularly brutal circumstances," and that the attacks took place "over the course of a period of time."
Republican Congressman Derrick Van Orden told reporters at a Sep. 9th press conference:
"I don’t care what your political affiliation is. This is not a Democrat issue. It’s not an independent or Libertarian issue. This is a human-rights issue." He added, "American citizens’ human rights are being violated. They’re being kidnapped, raped and murdered by criminal illegal aliens, and it’s just got to stop."
"They're calling us racists for putting out the fact that a man with organized crime tattoos was let into the country by the Harris border czar – he happens to be Venezuelan," Van Orden said. The Wisconsin Congressman clarified that he was not opposed to legal immigration or immigrants in the U.S. on temporary or agricultural working visas, as is common on the state's dairy farms.
"If we don't have immigrant labor, our dairies, our farms will go out of business. Our dairies will close if we don't have immigrant labor. I absolutely 100% welcome immigrant labor if they want to come here and work and send remittances back," he said. "But letting someone into the country with tattoos associated with known immigrant gangs is not OK. We do not welcome criminal illegal immigrants to come here."
