DEBUNKED: No undocumented migrants voted in Perry, Iowa


PERRY, Iowa (Gray Media Iowa Capitol Bureau) – Perry Police Chief Eric Vaughn is correcting misinformation about an event at a church in town last week.

A social media posts makes claims that undocumented migrants were given Photo IDs

The state of Iowa only gives out driver’s license and ID cards to people whose lawful presence in the U.S. has been verified by The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

The post then claims that once these migrants got an ID, a woman helped them vote by telling them which place to mark, and they told everyone to vote for Kamala Harris.

Chief Vaughn says this isn’t the case at all.

In a Facebook post, Vaughn says people were given a non-government form of ID. Those can be used at places like banks and libraries, but cannot be used to vote or drive.

The original post claims that Perry police officers were at the event and told migrants to show the ID to law enforcement and they’d be allowed to drive on with no charges because Perry is a “sanctuary city”.

Perry is not a sanctuary city, nor is any other city in Iowa. Sanctuary cities were banned in Iowa in 2018.

Vaughn also says Perry Police were not at the event.
