Iowa passes law to arrest and deport migrants

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, a Republican, signed anti-immigrant law which allows the State Police arrest migrants to whom rejected entry into the US or deportation previously.

With the approval of SF 2340, Iowa joins other Republican states such as Texas and Florida that have passed laws against illegal immigration.

The law would allow the arrest of migrants who have been deported or denied entry and would force police in that state to verify that aliens are being removed from the United States again.

In his statement, Reynolds attacked against the government of President Joe Biden and their immigration policies as part of the arguments in support of the measure.

“Those who enter our country illegally have broken the law, but Biden refuses to deport them.

“This bill gives Iowa officials the power to do something they don’t want to do: enforce immigration laws already on the books.”

The anti-immigrant law will take effect on July 1.

Immigrant advocates protested the measure, which takes effect July 1.

Reynolds is among the governors who have backed fellow Texas Republican Greg Abbott in his challenge to the Democratic administration.
