(Decorah, Iowa) – A sheriff in northeastern Iowa says his office will not comply with immigration enforcement if they are acting unconstitutionally. In a post on Facebook, Tuesday, Winneshiek County Sheriff Dan Marx said if a federal agency attempts to detain someone in his county on a detainer rather than a warrant, “then we will make every effort to block, interfere, and interrupt their actions from moving forward.” Marx says detainers are issued when the agency has not taken the time to request a warrant from a judge. He says detainers could lead to violations of amendment rights because the wrong person could be detained.
