The U.S. Department of Justice said it will sue Iowa if it doesn't backtrack on the implementation of a new immigration law criminalizing "illegal re entry," a top DOJ official said in a statement.
Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Brian Boynton wrote that the department "intends to bring a lawsuit to enforce the supremacy of federal law and to enjoin" the new immigration law passed as Senate File 2340, according to a letter obtained by the Des Moines Register.
