Iowa Supreme Court says state cannot prosecute immigrant for identity theft
The Iowa Supreme Court split 4 to 3 rules that federal immigration law preempts state charges of identity theft and forgery tied to immigration. Martha Martinez, brought to the U S from Mexico at age 11, used a false name to gain employment and later faced charges after obtaining a license under her real status.

Iowa justices rule on immigration case in pre emption ruling
Iowa Supreme Court divides over a case involving an undocumented immigrant Martinez who entered in 1997 and raised four U S citizen children. The majority says state laws enforcing immigration matters create a patchwork that undermines federal law while a dissent argues identity theft and forgery remain state crimes regardless of immigration status. The state has 90 days to appeal to the U S Supreme Court.
