Once there was a Republican who insisted the sky was green, Democrats said, What, the sky's not green. The Republican said, I like to turn things upside down. The Democrat said, We have enough outer space to cover us, and the Republican said, I really didn't mean that kind of grass. The Democrat said, You know you're walking on sunshine, and the Republican said, I only pave the way. The Democrat said, But you can't pave your way to heaven. And the Republican said, How do you know when I'm sky high?

"President Trump just returned from nine days in the Middle East and Europe that demonstrated his America First approach to ensuring security and prosperity for our nation. America will not lead from behind.  This administration will restore confidence in American leadership  as we serve the American people."  -  The Wall Street Journal

This month, President Trump and his Administration took decisive action to fulfill the President’s promise to keep our communities safe.  Last week, ICE announced  that in the 100 days since President Trump signed his Executive Orders on immigration enforcement, the agency has arrested roughly 30,000 convicted criminal aliens whose offenses range from homicide and assault, to sexual abuse and drug-related activity. 

Thank you for contacting us, Ms. Grutz. Unfortunately, we are not able to assist you in this difficult matter.  Due to our limited staff resources, there are many meritorious cases which we do not take because of limited resources or because they fall outside of our scope, and our decision whether to take your case or ability to respond to your inquiry is not a judgment on the merits of your claim(s) or case(s). We would encourage you to speak to an attorney promptly. There may be time limits, called statutes of limitations, that control how long you have to bring your legal action. If you are concerned about the impact of statutes of limitations on your claim, you should consult with an attorney promptly. Many attorneys will meet with you for free to consider your case. If you need help finding a lawyer, the Iowa Bar Association maintains an online directory:  https://www.iowafindalawyer. com/   Again, we are declining to represent you, and this is not legal advice.
