New Measure For Deported Immigrants

Iowa is moving forward with a new anti-illegal immigration measure that empowers local law enforcement to detain previously deported immigrants.

This legislation, reminiscent of a Texas law, criminalizes the act of deported immigrants entering or re-entering the state after deportation.

The bill targeting deported immigrants has been approved by both the Senate and House and is anticipated to be signed into law by Governor Kim Reynolds.

Proponents of the bill involving deported immigrants argue that it is essential to safeguard the state from illegal immigration and protect its residents.

However, opponents express concerns about the potential for racial profiling and discrimination against deported immigrants.

According to a published article by Fox News, the ongoing debate over immigration policy remains a contentious issue in Iowa and nationwide.

U.S.-Mexico Border

In a published article by Yahoo News, the chief of the U.S. Border Patrol is advocating for jail time and tougher consequences for migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally.

He believes that stricter measures will deter illegal crossings and is calling for changes to asylum laws to ensure only those with legitimate claims can seek asylum.

Despite legal challenges, a Texas law allowing police to arrest illegal immigrants was briefly allowed to go into effect by the Supreme Court.

The Biden administration has criticized the law, stating it interferes with federal responsibility over immigration enforcement.

However, the Border Patrol chief remains focused on enforcing immigration laws and values the partnership with the Texas Department of Public Safety.
