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. Citizen according to the Prairie du Chien Police Department.\n\nMr. 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.\n\nGiven that Dane County was classified as \u201cnon-cooperative\u201d with federal immigration authorities as recently as June of this year by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Reps. Tiffany and Van Orden wrote to ask for additional information regarding Dane County law enforcement\u2019s interaction with Mr. Coronel Zarate.\n\nThe lawmakers asked the following questions:\n\nDoes Dane County still maintain a \u201cnon-cooperation\u201d policy, or any other policy that in any way limits or restricts communication or coordination with ICE?\n\nPrior to the incident in Prairie du Chien, was Mr. Coronel Zarate ever arrested or detained by Dane County law enforcement?\n\nIf so, did Dane County ever notify ICE officials that Mr. Coronel Zarate was in custody?\n\nDid your agency, at any time, receive an immigration detainer request from ICE officials regarding Mr. Coronel Zarate?\n\nIf so, did Dane County honor that detainer and attempt to turn Mr. Coronel Zarate over to ICE?\n\n\u201cThese reckless and misguided \u201crevolving door\u201d policies are not only illegal, they also needlessly put other American communities at risk by allowing dangerous criminal aliens back out onto the streets to create new victims rather than remanding them to ICE for detention and removal. We hope that did not happen in this case,\u201dsaid Reps. Tiffany and Van Orden.\n\nYou can read the full letter here.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:43:57Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://tiffany.house.gov/media/press-releases/reps-tiffany-and-van-orden-demand-answers-dane-county-sheriff-migrants-arrest"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4738671015948057, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
