Last week, Des Moines Public Schools announced they were classifying themselves as sanctuary schools, and today (Wednesday) the student senate at Iowa State University is considering a resolution to have the university declared a sanctuary campus. Senator Chuck Grassley told Carroll Broadcasting that though he couldn’t comment on the school’s status, the authority to make immigration decisions is pretty cut and dried.
He said the Federal government not only has the responsibility of creating the laws, but they also have the responsibility to enforce them.
A bill that would limit cities, counties and public universities from creating sanctuary policies that conflict with Federal immigration law is currently being considered in the Legislature.
