OCONTO COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) – Congressman Mike Gallagher met with local lawmakers and county sheriffs on Friday to discuss the impact the issues on the southern border are having right here in Northeast Wisconsin.
The meeting comes in the wake of a fatal shooting in Oconto County involving a suspected Mexican cartel member.
“We might try to fool ourselves into thinking that, because we’re not a southern border state, we don’t actually have impacts from that problem. But as we saw right here in Oconto County, people will die in our own backyard if we allow that problem to persist,” Gallagher said. “Part of this is giving [law enforcement] the resources they need so that no one, particularly people with a track record and a criminal history, is allowed to enter the country illegally.”
