Iowa is to pay five protesters in support of the Black Lives Matter movement $5,000 each to settle a lawsuit after they were banned from the premises of the state Capitol last year, the Associated Press reported....The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Iowa filed a lawsuit on behalf of the five individuals and their lawyer is to receive $45,000 as part of the settlement....

....Iowa is also withdrawing their verbal and written bans so the individuals "may continue to enter and use the Iowa Capitol Complex on the same basis and under the same terms as any other law-abiding member of the public," the lawsuit settlement stated....

The panel voted to settle the lawsuit that alleged the protesters had their constitutional rights violated when they were banned from the state Capitol grounds..

Meanwhile ~500 Trumpsters have been ‘Rendered’ to the Deep State’s ‘black site’ in Washington DC, and are being abused, maybe even being tortured, for having walked peacefully through the Capitol.
