The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has issued a stern warning to the state of Iowa: halt the enforcement of a controversial new immigration law, or face a federal lawsuit. This legal showdown is poised over Iowa’s recent enactment of Senate File 2340, which criminalizes “illegal reentry” into the state by undocumented immigrants—a move the DOJ deems a violation of the Constitution. … Governor Reynolds has defended the law, Iowa needed the law because of the Biden administration’s poor record on immigration. “The only reason we had to pass this law is because the Biden administration refuses to enforce the laws already on the books,” Reynolds stated. “I have a duty to protect the citizens of Iowa. Unlike the federal government, we will respect the rule of law and enforce it.”

Similar to the Texas law that has already been enjoined by a federal judge.

SCOYUS will allow the IOWA and Texas laws to stand.
All the ststes have to do is show as a matter of fact that the law concerning illegal aliens is NOT being enforced.That should be easy enough.

which criminalizes “illegal reentry” into the state by undocumented [illegal] immigrants—a move the DOJ deems a violation of the Constitution. You can count on the Democrats to get things 100% backwards.

"DOJ aka Department of Justice has morphed into the DOI aka Department of Injustice"The DOJ has become the Department of Treason.

“a move the DOJ deems a violation of the Constitution”
The ability to traverse states “without pass or passport” is a Constitutional privilege accorded to citizens and lawfully present aliens.
The States never signed up for uncontrolled immigration. The plan was for the Federal government to vet and control the entry of foreigners according to standards set by the Congress.
Thus there is no “Constitutional” Right for illegal aliens to enter a State as they please.
Garland and his nation wrecking crew know this. But they abuse the “parole authority” to justify moving illegals into the States as they please.

“Someone?” What, you can’t guess?
As to the law, the state should simply say “ “See yah in court. But, until the case is decided at SCOTUS level, we will enforce out laws. Just like sanctuary laws all over the country. Got a problem with that? Let’s see your soldiers.”

The US Constitution DOES NOT APPLY to criminal, illegal, alien invaders. A tall tree and piano wire, does.
Find a tall tree and 'decorate' it...
