U.S. Senator Ron Johnson will be holding a press conference on December 15, 2023, to address the impact of crime in Wisconsin resulting from what he believes are President Biden's open border policies. The senator will first attend a closed-door meeting with law enforcement officials from Winnebago County, the City of Oshkosh, and neighboring areas to discuss the consequences of the illegal drug trade, sex trafficking, and cartel-related activities in various Wisconsin communities. This meeting will take place at the Winnebago County Sheriff's Office in Oshkosh.

Senator Johnson's concerns stem from what he sees as a disastrous situation at the southern border. The senator believes that the influx of illegal drugs and criminal activities is directly linked to the leniency and lack of control at the border. He aims to bring attention to the negative consequences that these policies have had on Wisconsin communities.

In anticipation of the press conference, Senator Johnson has invited members of the media to attend. The press conference will be held at 2:15 p.m. CT, following the closed-door meeting. During the conference, the senator will address the media and elaborate on the issues discussed in the earlier meeting.

Law enforcement officials will also be present at the press conference to provide insights and firsthand accounts of the impact of crime in Wisconsin. Their perspectives will shed light on the challenges they face in combating the illegal drug trade, sex trafficking, and cartel-related activities.

The senator is requesting that members of the media RSVP by Friday, December 15 at 1:00 PM CT with their name, outlet, email, and phone number. RSVPs should be sent to press@ronjohnson.senate.gov.

This press conference and meeting serve as a platform for Senator Johnson to raise awareness about the consequences of open border policies on Wisconsin communities. The senator firmly believes that urgent action is needed to address the issues surrounding crime and insecurity in the state.
