Marx seeks dismissal in immigration detainer case in Iowa county motion
The motion argues Marx complied with ICE detainer requests, Winneshiek County complied with 21 detainers since 2018, and that a Facebook post criticizing ICE is protected opinion. The county asks to drop Winneshiek County as a defendant, noting the county is governed by a board of supervisors.
