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.

SPENCER, Iowa (KCAU) —Dozens of folks gathered at Stolley Park Pond outside of Spencer on Saturday hoping to catch rainbow trout.
The Iowa DNR released about 1,500 rainbow trout into the pond Saturday afternoon.
Previously, the trout release was held at Scharnberg Park in rural Clay County. The switch to Stolley Park was made because of the proximity to Spencer and to bring more people out to the park.
“It’s just to help increase the fishing success, the fishing catchability in these ponds. We’ve actually in the last three years we’ve put a lot of work back into Stolleys Park to increase the fishing success we’ve been working closely with the DNR, the local fisheries biologists. It just adds in another element that really draws attention to the area when you do these urban fish stockings like this and it’s really great success for people to come out and catch fish.” Said Spencer Parks and Recs Director Bob Fullhart.
To fish for the trout, you will need to get a “trout stamp” on your fishing license, which you can get anywhere that sells fishing licenses. There is a daily bag limit of five trout and children under 16 may fish for free if they fish with a licensed adult.
