Citizens for the St. Croix Valley is a right-wing political organization that is located and operates in the Saint Croix River Valley within the states of Wisconsin and Minnesota.

History

The organization gained momentum during December 2016 with growing opposition against a potential plan by St. Patrick Church to resettle Syrian refugees in Hudson, Wisconsin. This led to the organization officially being formed in January 2017, with a support base within Hudson and New Richmond, Wisconsin. In 2018, it was reported that the Southern Poverty Law Center added the organization to a list of hate groups. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]
