Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press at 3:45 a.m. CST

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — An 18-year-old man is facing charges after two Sioux City teenagers died after being stabbed over the weekend. The Sioux City Journal reports that Sioux City Police arrested the 18-year-old not long after the victims were found in a neighborhood around 1:15 a.m.

GLENWOOD, Iowa (AP) — Iowa brewers are toasting the recently approved federal tax changes, saying a tax break targeting their industry could spur expansion and more profits. Keg Creek Brewing is a large craft beer producer in southwest Iowa. The Des Moines Register reports that Keg Creek is also one of the about 80 local breweries eligible for a tax break from President Trump’s tax plan. Now, breweries that produce fewer than 2 million barrels annually will be taxed $3.50 on the first 60,000 barrels made every year.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa has jumped into the national debate over immigration with an expansive enforcement bill that would require local governments to comply with federal immigration agents or risk losing state funds. The measure, scheduled for at least one vote this week in the Republican-controlled Legislature, has been framed as a ban on so-called sanctuary cities. But the bill’s scope is wide and raises questions about local government control. It could plunge Iowa into costly litigation.

OSAGE, Iowa (AP) — Mitchell County officials have appointed a Stacyville councilwoman to fill a vacant supervisor’s position. The Mason City Globe Gazette reports that Amanda Adams was appointed Friday to fill the vacant 3rd District Supervisor seat. The position became vacant earlier in the month, when County Treasurer Shannon Paulus resigned her position as supervisor to become treasurer.
