DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Des Moines plans to resume ticketing Monday of speeding violators caught by an automated speed radar camera on a heavily traveled portion of Interstate 235. Citations haven’t been issued since April 26 last year, upon an order from the Polk County District Court. Des Moines, Cedar Rapids and Muscatine appealed the court ruling. Those cities had sought the judicial review after the Iowa Transportation Department ordered some speed cameras turned off, saying the cameras didn’t make interstates safer.
This past April 27, however, the Iowa Supreme Court ruled that the department didn’t have authority over speed cameras, clearing the way for cities to employ them. The Des Moines Police Department said in a news release Tuesday that “a significant increase in speeding violations was noticed” after the ticketing halted.

Republican Congressman Steve King was an active tweeter, Tuesday, urging people to call congress and voice their opposition to bills that would provide what King calls “amnesty” to anyone who entered the U.S. illegally. King tweeted out a link to an interview he did with T-M-Z about the separation of children from parents crossing illegally at the southern border. King told the T-M-Z cameraman there is “nothing cruel” about the way the children are being treated and they are not being held in cages. King has toured detention centers near the southern border before. The use of chain link fencing is needed, King has said, to separate the boys from the girls.
King said on Twitter that the only way to stop what he describes as a “flood of illegals” is for the U.S. to deport “substantially more…than the number of those who arrive seeking amnesty.”
