Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird is suing to defund an entire county after its leading law enforcement authority vowed to "make every effort to block, interfere and interrupt" deportation operations based on ICE detainers, which he called unconstitutional.
This comes amid the Trump administration's concerted whole-of-government approach to cracking down on illegal immigration and migrant crime in the United States.
Bird, a Republican, argues that the sheriff’s self-proclaimed "longtime" stance of interrupting immigration enforcement operations based on detainers "impeded and discouraged cooperation with federal immigration authorities in violation of Iowa law."
A detainer is a formal request by ICE to other law enforcement authorities to hold an individual the agency has good reason to believe is an illegal alien who poses a threat to the well-being and safety of the community.
ICE officials have said that by refusing to honor detainers, law enforcement agencies put their communities at risk by allowing potentially dangerous illegals back onto the streets.
Despite this, Winneshiek County Sheriff Dan Marx pledged not to cooperate with ICE detainers in a Feb. 4 Facebook post in which he asserted that a detainer is "simply an unconstitutional *request* from ICE."
In the now-deleted post, Marx encouraged people to contact his office if they encounter "any federal agents" and said he and his staff are "always willing to assist with verifying credentials and the legitimacy of any paperwork federal agents should have to make certain your rights are not being abused."
"If the fed’s actions and paperwork are within constitutional parameters (such as proper and valid judicial warrants/court orders) we will assist if needed or requested to ensure their actions are carried out professionally and in the least intrusive fashion possible," he said.
"If their actions or paperwork are not within constitutional parameters," he went on, "then we will...

Those on welfare and fake disability claims. Them.
The federal government had better step in and cut off federal funding to these crazy outlaws too.
Marx. How apropos.
Maybe, I dunno, have Americans pick the crops. There are some able-bodied, unemployed Americans around, correct?
“make every effort to block, interfere and interrupt”. If I were to do something so stupid I would be arrested. How come these turds who continue to defy federal law don’t get arrested? Apparently they have no fear, since they won’t get arrested. Throw the bastards in jail, lock them up! The deportation blockers and the supporters of tranny guys in girls and women’s sports.
Interesting, the COWARD deleted his post.
Mmmmm it makes you wonder, did he realize his mistake or did ICE have a chat with him?? Regardless, DEFUND the Marx-ist sheriff.
Why not arrest the officials who made that decision?
Virtue signaling to impress voters connected to Luther College in Decorah. County population about 20,000.
Winneshiek County Sheriff Dan Marx ran for office as a Republican.
What is going on in Winneshick County?!?
“Defund the illegal enablers. BUT WHO WILL PICK THE CROPS?”
Guest workers...very easy and just about every advanced country outside of the West does it in a way that it doesn’t affect who votes, collects welfare, has kids, etc. The WORKER, and no one else, comes to the US for 3 years, makes his money, and leaves. If he doesn’t leave, he gets DEPORTED. If he leaves early, then he has to start the application process over.
It’s all very easy to do - but if people here are still confused, then just hire someone from Singapore’s government to teach them. Again, it’s EASY to do properly.
How about some of the homeless that still have a shred of worth?
“Guest workers.”
We’ve had agricultural visas for years, I don’t see what the problem is?
Actually, there are ways to get people from other countries to come in legally to harvest crops.
