It is a fact of the voting record that Representative Turek is one of three Democrats to vote with Republicans on a bill two years ago that required Iowa law enforcement to work with ICE on immigration enforcement. This is a bill that the ACLU of Iowa described as the worst anti-immigrant law that our state had ever seen. I voted against that bill and I spoke against that bill. And what I said then is 100% true today, which is that laws like that do not make Iowans more safe. (1:00:08–1:00:15)
