🚨BREAKING: the Court just upheld that only American citizens can vote in Iowa elections.

🚨VICTORY: The Court SHUT DOWN the Biden-Harris illegal amnesty scheme!
This win stops Biden & Harris from inviting 500,000+ illegal aliens to unlawfully live & work in the US. No one is above the law!
Thanks to @KenPaxtonTX, @Raul_Labrador, & @America1stLegal for leading!
🚨BREAKING: The Court temporarily BLOCKED the Biden-Harris amnesty scheme that illegally authorizes 500,000+ aliens to live & work in the U.S.

🚨VICTORY: Only ONE day after I filed to push back on a transgender parent who used the wrong restroom at an IA school, the parent dropped the case.
That’s because the law is clear: Iowans must use bathrooms aligned with their biological sex.
BIG win for parents & families!
It’s simple: boys’ restrooms are for boys & girls’ restrooms are for girls.
I filed to intervene in a lawsuit to ensure parents don’t have to worry about grown adults using the wrong restrooms at their children’s schools.

We see the Biden-Harris amnesty scheme for what it is: a last-ditch effort to buy votes in the Nov election.
This scheme is illegal, fuels mass illegal immigration, & illegally allows 500,000+ aliens to live & work in the US.
