Biden administration challenges new Iowa law that targets illegal immigration

The Department of Justice announced that it is suing the state of Iowa after lawmakers passed legislation making illegal immigration a state crime in certain situations. The new law allows Iowa law enforcement to arrest someone who reentered the U.S. illegally.

A separate lawsuit challenging the law was filed on Thursday by the American Immigration Council, the American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa, and the national ACLU on behalf of Iowa Migrant Movement for Justice. “As Governor, I have a responsibility to protect the citizens of Iowa. Since President Biden refuses to enforce our nation’s immigration laws – threatening the safety of our citizens – Iowa will step in," she said.
