(Radio Iowa) - A federal judge plans to issue a ruling before July 1st on whether state officials may enforce an Iowa law to deport immigrants who've been deported before.
The judge heard legal arguments in a Des Moines courtroom earlier today (Monday). Emma Winger, deputy legal director for the American Immigration Council, says the state of Iowa is trying to set up its own deportation system and only the federal government has authority to enforce immigration law.
Iowa Attorney General says President Biden has refused to enforce immigration laws and Iowa plans to do the job for him.
