The Biden administration, along with civil rights groups, has filed a lawsuit against the state of Iowa over a controversial law that allows local law enforcement to arrest immigrants without a warrant.
The law in question, known as Senate File 481, was passed in 2018 and grants Iowa law enforcement the authority to detain individuals based solely on federal immigration detainers. This means that individuals suspected of being undocumented immigrants can be held in custody without a warrant from federal immigration authorities.
