Another sheriff said “people don’t understand how bad” the border crisis is.
A Wisconsin sheriff is warning that the state will be “screwed” if Vice President Kamala Harris defeats former President Donald Trump in November.
The remark was relayed on Thursday by Dodge County Sheriff Dale Schmidt as he testified during a House Judiciary Committee hearing in Milwaukee on how the border crisis had impacted Wisconsin. Schmidt, the president of the Badger State Sheriffs Association, said that law enforcement around the state were seeing a surge in crime and strain on resources.
“If Trump doesn’t win this election, we are screwed,” Schmidt said that one of his fellow Wisconsin sheriffs told him, saying another told him “people don’t understand how bad it is.”
Turning to his own experience, Schmidt said his county was now dealing with an increase in drug trafficking from cartels from Mexico.
“I’m fearful for my family. I’m fearful for the family of those that serve with me,” he said of dealing with an influx of cartel violence and drug trafficking.
