On Wednesday, Republican Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds signed a bill into law that authorizes state officials to arrest and imprisonment refugees in Iowa who have recently been deported or denied access to the nation.
The GOP-controlled legislature in Iowa passed the bill last month, and several Democrats joined Republicans in bringing it to Reynolds ‘ desk. The new legislation, which is set to go into effect on July 1, makes “illegal parole” a state violence, and illegal immigrants who break the law may face up to two years in jail and imprisonment, Iowa Public Radio reported.
According to Reynolds,” The Biden Administration has failed to uphold our nation’s immigration rules, putting Iowans ‘ protection and safety in danger.” ” Those who enter our country improperly have broken the law, but Biden refuses to evict them. This costs gives Iowa’s law enforcement the authority to enact immigration laws that are already in place.
An immigrant who is detained for a Class C felony could face up to 10 years in prison if they are detained for a different course of felony. Additionally, the law mandates that Iowa courts issue an order requiring a person who has been found guilty of entering the country without authorization been returned to their home country.
The new Iowa immigration rules is comparable to a Texas emigration law that is currently battling the Biden administration. A federal appeals court is already weighing the legality of the Texas rules, which also allows state authorities to deport and arrest immigrants for entering the country without authorization.
After Texas passed the immigration laws, the Biden administration, along with organizations such as the ACLU sued. The Biden administration argued that Texas rules interferes with federal immigration laws by citing the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution.
Also, critics of Iowa’s new immigration rules say it interferes with the federal government and causes confusion among refugees.
According to Iowa Public Radio, executive chairman of the Iowa Migrant Movement for Justice Erica Johnson,” This law ignores the fact that there is no national preemption,” and it is merely a political stunt in an election year meant to stoke fear and only sustain hateful strategy rhetoric.
