DES MOINES \u2013 The League of United Latin American Citizens Council 307 has announced its opposition to Senate File 481, known as the \u201cSanctuary Cities Bill.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The bill, signed by Iowa Governor Reynolds today, prohibits local governments, cities or counties, from adopting or enforcing policies that discourage enforcement of immigration laws. It also would penalize those cities or counties that do by making them ineligible to receive any state funds.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThe statute is unconstitutional, and the most anti-immigrant legislation proposed to date in Iowa,\u201d said Joe Henry, LULAC National vice president of the Midwest and President of Council 307.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Latinx Immigrants of Iowa has started an online petition to oppose SF 481. The petition now has more than 20,000 Iowans\u2019 signatures against the legislation.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cOur businesses and community are against this bill that promotes hate, racism and lies against anyone who is different,\u201d said Jose Alvarado, an organizer with Latinx Immigrants of Iowa. \u201cAnyone who stands out as different will be targeted. This bill does not represent Iowa. It is not what a good Christian would do to another. We are all one under Iowa. Our races and colors should not divide us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Henry said the bill would result in further breakdown of trust between law enforcement officials and the immigrant community by creating more discrimination and victimization. <\/span><\/p>
