WATERTOWN, Wis. — A suspected member of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua was arrested for allegedly brutalizing a woman and her daughter in a tiny Wisconsin town — and hometown GOP Rep. Derrick Van Orden said it was only “a matter of time” before tragedy struck thanks to the Biden-Harris administration’s open-border policies.

Alejandro Jose Coronel Zarate, 26, cuffed late last week, is accused of sexually and physically assaulting a woman “under particularly brutal circumstances,” holding the woman and daughter against their will and “over the course of a period of time sexually and physically assaulting them both,” Prairie du Chien Police Chief Kyle Teynor said in Monday press conference. 

The latest incident also resulted in the injury of the victim’s minor child, police said.
