Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller has joined a lawsuit challenging President Trump’s move to end the Obama-era program that has shielded “hundreds of thousands” from being deported to the country where they were born.
Attorneys general from Iowa, 14 other states and the District of Columbia argue President Trump’s move causes “immediate harm” and does not provide due process rights to those who enrolled in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. Miller says about 28-hundred Iowans have been protected by “DACA.”
If this group is deported, Miller says the financial loss to the state’s economy “would be subtantial.” ,that over 10 years Iowa would lose $258 million in tax revenues as a result of the 2800 people being deported.
