A number of civil rights groups filed a lawsuit against the state of Iowa on Thursday for passing a law allowing authorities to arrest and detain some illegal immigrants.

SF 2340, signed by Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds, grants local and state law enforcement the ability to arrest and press charges against illegal immigrants who have outstanding deportation orders, or who have reentered the U.S. after being previously deported or denied access to the interior of the country. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Iowa and the American Immigration Council are suing Iowa over the law on claims that it is unconstitutional and will disproportionately affect the state’s immigrant population.

“Supporters of this law say they passed it because they are tired of the way the federal government and the current administration is handling immigration enforcement. We can all agree that our immigration system needs improvement, but this law is no solution,” Erica Johnson, founding executive director of Iowa Migrant Movement for Justice, claimed in a statement on Thursday. “Instead, it increases fear among Iowa’s immigrant communities and overwhelms local groups who are doing the real work of finding solutions and creating thriving communities.”

How Denmark Beat Mass Immigration
 
Denmark Flag
Michael McManus
 
Open-borders apologists usually portray mass migration as an unstoppable force that national governments are powerless to stop. However, Denmark has shown that good policies can and do reduce mass immigration and protect a country’s economy. The Scandinavian nation has drawn a line in the sand and has kept the migration–related problems like gang violence seen in neighboring countries to a minimum.

One important policy is strict limits on family reunification. Arranged marriages with spouses from diaspora countries of origin are a major driver of immigration into Europe. These marriages frequently see young girls with no education and limited language skills being forcibly married off. This frequently results in welfare dependency and an increased fiscal burden on taxpayers. To counter this, Danish law requires that the spouse/fiancé be at least 24 years-old and that they attend mandatory Danish language and integration classes. There is also a requirement that financial sponsors earn more than the welfare rate and that the home they will live be is large enough to support a family.

During the migrant crisis of 2015 and 2016, when over 1.5 million Middle Eastern, African, and other migrants headed for Europe, many were bound for Denmark. Copenhagen then announced it would cut the welfare payments to asylum seekers by $750 per month. As news filtered through the migrants’ cellphone chat groups, they made the decision to go to Sweden instead as Sweden was still open to all (they have since seen the light in this respect.) The migrants candidly told a Danish TV crew that the announcement of cut welfare was the thing that made them abandon plans to go to Denmark and head to Sweden instead.

Biden Says Trump Should Have Injected Himself with Bleach: ‘Wish He Had Done a Little Bit’

Elizabeth Weibel 10 May 2024

President Joe Biden said during a fundraiser Friday in San Francisco, California, that he wished former President Donald Trump had injected himself with bleach.

While speaking at the fundraiser on Friday, Biden referenced a false claim that Trump had once suggested people “inject bleach” to help treat the coronavirus, saying he wished the former president “had done a little bit himself,” according to the Jerusalem Post.

“Remember him saying the best thing to do is just inject a little bleach in your arm?” Biden said on Friday. “That’s what he said. And he meant it. I wish he had done a little bit himself.”

As Breitbart News has previously reported, and as the White House transcript showed, Trump never suggested that anyone should inject bleach into their arm.

Trump’s comments were in reference to experimental UV technology and how it might possibly be used in the human body.

According to the White House transcript at the time, Trump said:

    THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. So I asked Bill a question that probably some of you are thinking of, if you’re totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous – whether its ultraviolet or just very powerful light – and I think you said that that hsn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way, and I think you said you’re going to test that too. It sounds interesting.

    ACTING UNDER SECRETARY BRYAN: We’ll get to the right folks who could.

    THE PRESIDENT: Right. And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that. So, that, you’re going to have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds – it sounds interesting to me.

When asked later by a reporter for clarification about whether Trump was referring to a disinfectant being “injected into a person,” Trump explained that “it wouldn’t be through injection.”

Top House Armed Services Dem: Biden’s Israel Threat ‘Took Pressure off of Hamas’ and Decreased Odds of Ceasefire

Ian Hanchett 11 May 2024

On Friday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” House Armed Services Committee Ranking Member Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA) stated that President Joe Biden’s threat to withhold certain weapons from Israel if it goes into Rafah’s population centers “doesn’t help” and “took pressure off of Hamas, when it shouldn’t have.”

Co-host John Berman asked, “Do you agree with the policy of threatening to withhold certain weapons if Israel goes further into Rafah?”

Smith responded, “I don’t think he should have done it publicly. I think the private conversations were very appropriate. I think the other possibility is end-use restrictions. We’ve done that, for instance, in Ukraine, here [are] your weapons, can’t fire into Russia.”

Berman then cut in to ask, “Why don’t you think he should have done it publicly?”

Smith answered, “Because, look, the biggest block to a ceasefire right now is Hamas. And that’s being largely underreported. There has been a ceasefire agreement on the table for months, which the President brokered, to allow for the return of hostages and a temporary ceasefire. Hamas has blocked that and said, no, Israel has to completely withdraw, permanent ceasefire, and oh, by the way, we’re only going to return some of the hostages over an extended period of time. That offer’s been on the table. We have to keep the pressure on Hamas to agree to that ceasefire.”

Berman then asked, “So, what then, does making the public threat to withhold weapons do?”
