So, here’s what’s happening in Iowa. Sheriff Dan Marx from Winneshiek County stirred up quite a debate when he announced he might refuse to cooperate with ICE detainers if he believes they’re unconstitutional. He took to social media to explain his stance, emphasizing that his true duty is to uphold the Constitution and protect individual rights.
Sheriff Marx argues that some of these detainers might infringe on a person’s rights. He claims that the federal agency sometimes issues detainers without enough information or a valid judicial warrant. On Facebook, he pointed out that this situation could lead to gross violations of rights, as people might be held erroneously.
He raised concerns about the potential for citizens to be unjustly jailed due to ICE’s errors. Marx posed a thought-provoking question: Would you be willing to sit in jail on an unconstitutional detainer until your name is cleared? He emphasized that his allegiance is to the Constitution and protecting individual rights.
Meanwhile, Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds didn’t waste time responding. She reminded the sheriff of the state law that requires law enforcement to cooperate with federal immigration officials. In her letter, she highlighted that sheriffs shouldn’t discourage officers from assisting with immigration enforcement.
Governor Reynolds also warned about the consequences of not complying with the law. She mentioned that any local entity found to be intentionally violating these provisions could lose state funding. It was a clear signal that the state expects adherence to the law.
This situation comes amid a broader national conversation about immigration policies. President Donald Trump has voiced his intention to implement mass deportations as a response to the illegal immigration crisis. This stance aligns with a stricter approach to immigration enforcement, emphasizing the need for law and order.
Sheriff Marx’s position has sparked a discussion about the balance between federal immigration laws and constitutional rights. It’s a complex issue that leaves many pondering the best course of action. The debate touches on fundamental questions about the role of local law enforcement in federal immigration matters.
Some people support Marx’s stance, appreciating his commitment to constitutional rights. They argue that it’s crucial to ensure due process and protection against warrantless actions. Others, however, believe that cooperation with federal immigration authorities is necessary to maintain order and security.
In the midst of all this, community members are weighing in with their opinions. Conversations are popping up everywhere, from coffee shops to online forums. People are discussing the implications of Marx’s decision and how it might impact the county.
There are those who feel that Marx’s actions could set a precedent for other sheriffs. They wonder if more law enforcement officials might take a similar stand. This possibility adds another layer to the ongoing debate.
The situation also raises questions about the relationship between state and federal laws. It’s a reminder of the delicate balance that exists within the American legal system. Navigating these complexities requires careful consideration and a deep understanding of constitutional principles.
As the discussion continues, it’s clear that this is a topic with no easy answers. People are passionate about their views, and emotions run high. It’s a reminder of the importance of open dialogue and respectful debate.
The reactions from various stakeholders highlight the diverse perspectives on immigration enforcement. Some believe in strict adherence to federal mandates, while others prioritize individual rights. This diversity of opinion reflects the broader national conversation on immigration.
In the end, Sheriff Marx’s statement has brought attention to a critical issue. It challenges us to think about the role of law enforcement in upholding constitutional values. This ongoing conversation is a testament to the complexities of governance in a diverse society.
As this situation unfolds, it serves as a reminder of the importance of staying informed. Engaging with these topics helps us better understand the challenges facing our communities. It’s a call to action for citizens to participate in the democratic process.
The debate in Winneshiek County is a microcosm of the larger national discourse on immigration. It underscores the need for thoughtful consideration and dialogue. As the conversation evolves, it will be interesting to see how these issues are addressed at both the local and national levels.
throw her the hell out .. or better yet ,, deport her .tired of the BS
Who is “her”?
Sheriff Dan Marx, oh any relation to Karl Marx? Perhaps a cousin or long lost great-grandson; surely from the way you speak sounds like you surely are!
Here is where you sound for sure like a “Demoncrap Commie” when you said; “allegiance is to the Constitution and protecting individual rights.” No you moron, the US Constitution is all about “defending and protecting United States Citizens and their Country these United States of America!”
And then this you bonehead which points out your thoughts if they really are yours! “He raised concerns about the potential for citizens to be unjustly jailed due to ICE’s errors. Marx posed a thought-provoking question: Would you be willing to sit in jail on an unconstitutional detainer until your name is cleared? He emphasized that his allegiance is to the Constitution and protecting individual rights.”
There you go again speaking about “individual rights” in a truer sense the way the globalists speak for the “New World Order and Open Borders” with free “unrestricted migration,” are they possibly giving you a handy sum of cash under the table bubba!
This takes the cake with “your nonsensical moronic game” you try to hoodwink others with; “Would you be willing to sit in jail on an unconstitutional detainer until your name is cleared?”
Do you mean like the J6 Election Fraud Rally Event “US Citizen Attendees” who were subsequently thrown into the DC Gulag “Dungeon” and given “no rights” not even to legal counsel and or any speedy hearings or trials by a jury of their peers; but “instead thousands of them were just kept locked-up for almost 4 years and treated like scums!” I really don’t think this “BS Con Game” of yours is going to get you any points with “America Citizens” that can think straight and have a lot more than a few brain cells functioning in their heads!
It looks like the Governor knows what is really going on and has the proper bottom-line!
“Meanwhile, Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds didn’t waste time responding. She reminded the sheriff of the state law that requires law enforcement to cooperate with federal immigration officials. In her letter, she highlighted that sheriffs shouldn’t discourage officers from assisting with immigration enforcement.
Governor Reynolds also warned about the consequences of not complying with the law. She mentioned that any local entity found to be intentionally violating these provisions could lose state funding. It was a clear signal that the state expects adherence to the law.”
Might be time to tear this Demoncrap a new one!
Just arrest the Communist bastard and send the son of a bitch to GITMO.
i agree, send the stupid idiot to Siberia!!!!!!
Michael; Absolutely and thank you for giving credibility to justice here Brother!
Brother, there’s one thing that I absolutely hate more is an Unconstitutional Law Enforcement Officer, who’s sworn duty is to protect and defend the Constitution and the Citizens of which he/she is about to take office or Deputies about to be swarn in.
As every Law Enforcement Officer, you must know the 1st-2nd-14th-15th Amendment Rights also the Miranda rights, the Sheriff’s office tells me that they don’t know shit about the Constitution and think they have power over ICE and the President.
Time to start cleaning that Sheriff’s Office up and arrest all Unconstitutional Deputies including the Sheriff.
Damn that burns my ass when Law Enforcement is as crooked as Communist Democrats.
The only thing about being a Sheriff one doesn’t have to have any prior Law Enforcement training, a Sheriff is voted into office even as an everyday citizen. Then they’ll have to get the training needed to get their Masters in Law Enforcement, which doesn’t happen over night.
Michael I hear you and understand how you are so offended by this crud!
All your points are well taken here in this regard!!!
what is about ILLEGALS THAT THIS IDIOT DOSE NOT UNDERSTAND?? THESE ILLEGALS ARE NOTHING BUT PARASITES BROUGHT IN BY DEMS TO CHANGE THE VOTING FOR THEM FOR CONTROL IN WASHINGTON WHICH TRUMP IS EXPOSING!! MOST AMERICANS VOTED TO GET RID OF THESE PARASITES WHICH YOUR TAX DOLLARS ARE PAYING FOR THEIR UPKEEP! THEY EXPECT CRADLE TO GRAVE CARE! THINK FOR A CHANGE!!!! BE AN AMERICAN WHO LOVES AMERICA
Exactly, many come from hell-holes where dictators or communists rule and so being here in the once great affluent America is like an amusement park ride 24/7!
And no, this isn’t all as complicated as some knowledgeable persons might have you believe; even the writer of this article perhaps!
“We are at War” I hope you all get that by now with a nearly 40 $Trillion deficit hanging over all of our heads close to half of which was just created over the last 4 years by the Demoncraps, Rino’s and their Globalist Puppet Masters given along with Drug Cartels, International Gangs, ISIS Terrorists, CCP Operatives and a wide assortment of heinous blood thirsty killers running lose all over America!
And most if not all of these millions of Invaders are UNVETTED persons from all over the planet, some 150 countries; many of them with communicable diseases and criminal or other undesirable records! So YES “strenuous actions are absolutely warranted and mandatory at this time” in order to “reserve and clear out all of these Globalist Agenda Invaders” which has all been part of their plan to crush America and “take away all of our Constitutional Rights permanently!”
Too damn bad if some feathers get ruffled in this arduous herculean effort to save ourselves and this Nation! Now is “the time to buckle up and get tough” on this horrendous scourge that the Demoncraps, Rino’s and Elitists unleashed upon “We the People at the behest of their “New World Order” directors in the WEF, UN and Deep State Cabal Freemasons!
TIME FOR ICE and All LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES TO GET HER DONE NOW!
Illegal border crossers are not citizens of this country and they do not warrant the protection of OUR CONSTITUTION as they have committed a criminal act by braking o OUR LAWS and must either be sent back to their country of origin or put in prison for a time and then returned to their country. I am sick and tired about OUR TAX dollars going to these criminal illegals receiving the benefits that WE the PEOPLE are entitled to.
Reginald P Zenkewich, Absolutely and meanwhile our Debt is climbing like a rocket that is going to destroy our economy and say goodbye to us the “Middle Class” and hello to the “poverty class” with the rulers above it all!
We shouldn’t be expending any money for foreigners and especially those that are now here “Illegally” as like you said straight out of the gate they’re Criminals!
We Citizens are being screwed from all sides and it MUST STOP, or “one way or another all hell will break lose at some point up the road!”
Hooray for Gov. Kim Reynolds. Good for her.
Yes Sir Buddy, someone for a change in that position that has some moxie or intestinal fortitude to say and do what is right to do for the Citizens and our Nation!
Illegal-alien-invaders are NOT citizens and have NO “rights”.
Throw the bums out.
Oliver I couldn’t agree more!
Mr. Sheriff, yes you should uphold the constitution. But keep in mind the constitution is for legal citizens. Those who are here illegally are NOT citizens and therefore are NOT granted provisions found in the constitution! And also remember it is a federal offense to NOT uphold federal law which is supposed to be to follow the constitution. Help ICE.
Carol Gibson; bravo all fine points and true! But don’t we already have a good idea that this so called sheriff already knows and understands these factors and laws pretty darn good if he is in the position he is in!
See as I look at this I see and smell something foul going on so we may not know now about other powerful players who are pushing buttons or pulling strings in this matter; say like the way the ever so partisan Biden DOJ AG Garland had been doing for the last four years!
I admit I don’t truly know enough about the whole matter, but right out of the gate something doesn’t add up here and it pisses me off to no end how we have so many problems like this throughout this once Great and Honorable Nation under God! Sorry but it’s more like under Satan if you catch my drift in my comments!
But who the heck and I, maybe you could be the one that says it so well that someone else talks to this guy and suddenly he says “enough is enough too” and he gets on the stick!
We pray and hope for the best I’m sure!
This f’n fool is assigning rights and constitutional protections to non-citizens. Communist.
Damn straight!
Here Powers Booth says it plain and sharp!

David (author of this piece), No, it is not a complicated issue so please stop pretending it is. The Federal government has jurisdiction over immigration and naturalization issues according to the Constitution that the idiot Sheriff claims to value. If the Sheriff knows that somebody listed in an ICE detainer is a citizen, report that info to ICE and help them correct it instead of obstructing justice. You don’t base compliance with federal agents on “what if” scenarios, especially ones for which you can’t cite examples of abuse.
Robert; that’s a big 10-4, some are always trying to overkill simple matters that are explicitly laid out in the US Constitution when it’s absolutely cut and dry! These are felony Constitutional Law Violators who invaded our Nations Sovereignty by just overrunning our borders! Arrest is the action to take and then immediately incarcerate or deport depending on any additional details that can be discovered once arrested! Like is this an international criminal or is there a record indicating a dangerous individual or repeat offender who must be dealt with by Rule of Law, not the Welcome Wagon that says come right on in and “you won yourself a bunch of freebees for breaking our Laws” regarding foreign invaders! Of course the Demoncraps don’t give a crap and just want more warm bodies that can vote for them along with the Globalist Cabal advancing their NWO agenda of “no borders and totalitarian control of all humanity!”
The illegal immigrants broke the law by entering the US illegally. They have no rights regarding US laws for protection. This is a slap in the face to legal immigrants that entered the US legally, spent money to enter the US legally or to become an US citizen. The legal immigrants are protected by laws, not the illegal immigrants that broke the law.
That is another dimension of how this is all ass backwards but of course it is because look at what assholes such as Biden/Harris and the whole Demoncrap/w Rino’s cabal that promoted it for four freaking years at the tune of tens of millions of violators at an expense of well over a couple of $Trillion and rising! They figured it was their sure fire means of holding onto Congressional Control and Power!
Many in Congress should be tried and executed at GITMO!
Should be pretty easy., if they cannot produce proof of citizenship, seeya. Proof or poof ( you’re gone)!!!!!
Should be easy as swatting flies!
The Supremacy Clause of the Constitution of the United States (Article VI, Clause 2) establishes that the Constitution, federal laws made pursuant to it, and treaties made under its authority, constitute the “supreme Law of the Land”, and thus take priority over any conflicting state laws.
Holman can arrest thses leftist traitors now!
Illegal-alien-invaders have NO “rights” in this country. They’re not Legal U.S. Citizens. Why is that so hard to understand??? The only “right” they are entitled to, is to go back to where they came from.
Everything given to these invaders is taken out of the pockets of Legal, taxpaying, U.S. Citizens. Why is that so hard to understand?
Not to mention that these invaders are cocky, smug and arrogant. They get indignant at the thought of being thrown out. If I went to some foreign country and acted like they do- I would either be jailed or murdered.
Oliver Correct; this was something I brought up early on in the Biden/Harris debacle administration in many news articles and blogs! But apparently the people who control the purse strings and run the show don’t give a rat’s ass about what we Citizens actually think or require of them as public servants! Greed, money and power has obviously gone to their heads to the point where they are all dictators and evil!
If I could get things to turn the way I see fit I would start legal proceedings with charges against many of our elected officials and judges and ship them to GITMO to stand trial there for Treason and if guilty to be summarily executed!
