Zoerner Takes Down Deceptive Political Post After Backlash From Both Liberals and Conservatives
KENOSHA, Wis. — Kenosha County Sheriff David W. Zoerner quietly deleted a campaign Facebook post within hours after it drew criticism from both liberals and conservatives over his immigration record and a campaign image appearing to show him standing alongside President Donald Trump. The post declared, “As your Sheriff, I have always stood strong against crime, drug cartels, and illegal immigration. No excuses and no backing down – Just like President Trump.” It also featured what appeared to be an AI-generated image depicting Zoerner standing beside Trump beneath the words “Trump-Tough Conservative.” While political attacks often come from one side or the other, the criticism directed at Zoerner came from across the political spectrum.

Three Kenosha Judges Now Refuse to Seal Victim Names; Three Minor Girls’ Identities in Child Enticement Case Are Public Record
KENOSHA, Wis. — Three Kenosha County circuit judges have now refused the Kenosha County District Attorney’s Office’s routine requests to keep victim-witness identification keys under seal, leaving the identities of three minor girls publicly available in a recent felony child enticement case.

Under that practice, criminal complaints filed with the court identify victims and witnesses only by their initials, while a separate document known as a victim-witness key contains their full names and dates of birth. The defendant and defense attorney receive the key, but prosecutors have routinely asked judges to keep it sealed from the public in an effort to protect victims’ identities, particularly children and victims of sexual
