MITCHELLVILLE, Iowa (AP) — Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds says the federal government should stop separating children from their parents when they enter the country illegally. The Des Moines Register reports that Reynolds said on Tuesday that “it’s just horrific” that children are used as “pawns” in an immigration policy dispute. The Republican governor called on Congress to come up with a solution this week that stops the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy at the U.S.-Mexico border. Reynolds says the U.S. should provide “stability” to families instead of separating them from their children.

Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller, a Democrat, also announced Tuesday that he has joined 20 other Democratic attorneys general in calling for the policy to stop. In a letter, the state attorneys general say the policy runs “contrary to American values.”

On their agenda is discussion with Sheriff Jeff Vandewater, with regard to a vehicle purchase, and Matt Ott, with MidAmerican Energy, as it pertains to the Wind Farm Project. MidAmerican announced on May 1st, construction of two new wind farm projects will begin this summer, in Adair County. They include the “Arbor Hill” and “Orient Wind Farm” projects.

Officials have said previously, the Arbor Hill wind farm project features 125 wind turbines. The Orient wind farm project will have 150 turbines, with the option to add up to 100 more. The combined projects, when completed, can produce up to 550 megawatts of energy, or enough to power 230,000 average Iowa homes. The newest projects will add to MidAmerican’s complement of three other wind farms already in Adair County.
