Two people riding motorcycles were injured Tuesday in Mills County, when they collided on 221st Street at around 9:20-p.m. The Iowa State Patrol says 30-year old Corey Livingston, of Omaha, and 40-year old Matthew Ollie, of Council Bluffs, were hurt. Following the crash, Livingston was flown by Life Net to Bergan Mercy Hosputal, while Ollie was transported by Silver City Rescue to the UNMC in Omaha.

The Patrol reports a 2017 Harley Davidson Touring cycle operated by Livingston and a 2012 Harley operated by Ollie, were both southbound on 221st Street near the intersection with Barrus Road. A preliminary investigation indicates a third motorcycle traveling with Livingston and Ollie, had slowed down, and turned left onto Barrus Road.

The other two cycles passed the intersection and Ollie apparently slowed to turn around and get on Barrus Road, when his cycle was struck from behind by Livingston’s motorcycle. The collision caused both machines and their riders to enter the west ditch.

Two bicyclists were struck by a van Monday afternoon in northwest Iowa’s Palo Alto County. One of the riders died, the other was hurt.

Anderson was adjusting his mirror, and failed to see the bicycles. After the bikes were hit, Luke Rouse and his bicycle came to rest in the west ditch. Lacey Jo Rouse and her 4-year old son Hank, who was a passenger on her bike, were knocked down and came to rest on the west shoulder.

Luke Rouse and Lacey Jo Rouse were transported by Palo Alto Rescue to Palo Alto Hospital, where Luke died from his injuries. The accident remains under investigation.

SEATTLE (AP) — Seventeen states, including Iowa, Washington, New York and California, sued President Donald Trump’s administration today (Tuesday), in an effort to force officials to reunite migrant families who have been separated at the U.S.-Mexico border. The states, all of which are led by Democratic attorneys general, joined Washington, D.C., in filing the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Seattle. It’s the first legal challenge by states over the practice.

Immigration authorities have separated about 2,300 children from their parents in recent weeks, sparking global outrage as images and recordings of weeping children emerged. Many parents are in custody thousands of miles from their children, whom they have not been able to see and have rarely spoken to for a month or more.

After falsely blaming Democrats for the separations and insisting that only Congress could fix the issue, the president last week issued an executive order designed to end the practice under his “zero tolerance” policy, which prosecutes adults who come to the U.S. illegally.

But the states say his order is riddled with caveats and fails to reunite parents and children who have already been torn apart. They accuse the administration of denying the parents and children due process; denying the immigrants, many of whom are fleeing gang violence in Central America, their right to seek asylum; and being arbitrary in applying the policy.

A U.S. judge in San Diego already is considering whether to issue a nationwide injunction sought by the American Civil Liberties Union that would order the administration to reunite the separated children with their parents. A Seattle-based immigrant rights group sued Monday on behalf of detained asylum-seekers in Washington state who have been separated from their children.

The states that sued are Massachusetts, California, Delaware, Iowa, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and Washington.

OTTUMWA, Iowa (AP) — Police have arrested a southeastern Iowa sixth-grade teacher accused of sending sexually-charged messages and pictures to a 13-year-old former student. The Ottumwa Courier reports that police arrested 35-year-old Zachary Barr, of Ottumwa, on Monday. Barr is a sixth-grade teacher at Evans Middle School, but school district officials said Tuesday he had been place on administrative leave.

Police received a complaint June 8 from a woman who said her daughter had received inappropriate messages via social media from Barr, a former teacher to the girl. Police then contacted Barr pretending to be the girl and say he asked her to send him nude photos. Police say he also sent photos of his genitals.

Barr is charged with sexual exploitation of a minor, sexual exploitation by a school employee and dissemination and exhibition of obscene materials to a minor. He faces more than 30 years in prison if convicted.
