Iowa Inmate Who Killed Child Sues to Be Deported Under Trump’s 2025 Order

An Iowa inmate serving life for a 1997 infant’s death has filed a federal suit asking DHS and ICE to deport him to Mexico, citing voluntary deportation paperwork and the Jan. 20, 2025 executive order directing expedited removal of criminal aliens. The plaintiff argues deportation would reduce taxpayer costs and is representing himself; the government has not yet responded.
