Proclamation Proscribes Southern Refugees Across Iowa Border
A gubernatorial proclamation in Des Moines declares asylum barred for refugees from the rebel army entering Iowa from Missouri. Officers along the southern border are ordered to detain suspects until they prove lawful intent, with return and denial of entry for those unable to justify their arrival. The missive warns of arson and robbery by such persons and emphasizes public safety over immigration.
