Gov. Reynolds filed initial complaint against Winneshiek County
Gov. Kim Reynolds filed an official complaint with the Attorney General’s Office, though the lawsuit was filed until March 26. Reynolds released a statement warning the county it could be ineligible to receive state funds if it is found to have intentionally violated the law.
In mid-January, Reynolds directined [sic] Iowa's top law enforcement officials to fully cooperate and assist federal agencies in carrying out deportations. Reynolds specifically instructed Iowa's law enforcement officials to honor any detainer request from Homeland Security.
Bird and Marx have gone back and forth behind closed doors and via social media posts. Bird tried to get Marx to refute the statements he made in the initial Facebook post. Marx was adamant that Winneshiek County has never refused to cooperate with ICE, which he said should be evidence enough for the Attorney General’s Office to dismiss the case.
