Trump plans weekend speech in Prairie du Chien on immigration, public safety
Border security and immigration are expected to be the leading topics when former president Donald Trump travels to Prairie du Chien on Saturday.
Other recent presidents have visited Prairie du Chien before or after being elected, including Jimmy Carter in 1979, Bill Clinton in 1992, and George W. Bush in 2004.
Trump’s campaign said the Republican candidate will speak at Prairie du Chien High School, and will meet with residents and community leaders there about immigration concerns.
A Venezuelan man, Alejandro Coronel Zarate, is charged in Crawford County court with an alleged sexual assault and domestic battery, following an arrest this month. Coronel Zarate has been accused of belonging to a gang in Venezuela.
Trump is returning to western Wisconsin for the second time in about a month. He spoke at a La Crosse Center town hall Aug. 29.
Saturday’s Trump event is scheduled for late morning at the arts center.

Illegal immigration and gangs coming to a town near you.
Prairie is about as far off the beaten track as you can get in the midwest. Gang members showing up there is not a good sign. Thank you to Kamala and Joe.
Drug deaths in La Crosse County set a record in 2023…can’t find a comparable statistic for Crawford County (Prairie). The Wisconsin DHS website drug death tracker hasn’t been updated since 2022…go figure.
