Miller-Meeks Statement on ICE Protest in Iowa

June 11, 2025 Press Release Davenport, IA — Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA-01) issued the following statement in response to protests in Davenport and across the country targeting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE): “ICE agents put their lives on the line to keep our communities safe. The manufactured outrage in Davenport and around the country is not about standing up for justice, protesters are demanding that violent, illegal immigrant criminals be allowed to stay in our country without consequence. I voted for the One Big Beautiful Bill, which authorizes 10,000 more border security agents, completes the fence with accompanying technology, and gives CBP and ICE the tools to do their job. I will never allow Iowa to become the next Los Angeles. We will protect our neighborhoods, enforce our laws, and support those who put their lives on the line to keep us safe. Don’t California our Iowa.” ### Issues : Border Security
