Iran strikes, Bohannan campaign, Iowa angles on ICE and Pride Month

from KHOI's Capitol Week · host Laura Belin, Spencer Dirks

Laura Belin and Spencer Dirks began with Iowa political reaction to U.S. strikes against Iran, Christina Bohannan's campaign launch in Iowa's first Congressional district, and Ryan Melton leaving the race in the fourth district. They noted the Iowa House effort to call a special legislative session. Next, several stories related to immigration policy: the Trump administration's flip-flop on ICE raids, Attorney General Brenna Bird's stance on National Guard deployments, and where things stand on the state's lawsuit over a county sheriff's Facebook post. They covered several Iowa angles on the "big, beautiful bill" now pending in the U.S. Senate. Finally, they marked Pride Month by discussing five stories affecting LGBTQ Iowans.
