An Iowa bill similar to the one going through legal hoops in Texas would allow state law enforcement to arrest illegal immigrants who were previously deported or denied entry into the United States.  

The new legislation makes it a crime for migrants to enter Iowa if they have a history of deportation or were denied entry into the country. The House passed Senate File 2340 the same day the U.S. Supreme Court allowed Texas law enforcement to arrest illegal immigrants, which was quickly blocked by an appeals court shortly after the high court’s ruling.
