Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Governor Terry Branstad has sent a letter to President Barack Obama asking that Iowa officials be notified about any immigrant children placed in the state. About 120 children who entered the U.S. illegally and alone were sent to Iowa in the first half of the year. Branstad learned of the placements from a news reporter.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — A convicted armed robber accused of living under the identities of two boys who died in the 1940s remains in custody without bond. Ronald Dwaine Carnes appeared in court yesterday in Cedar Rapids on Social Security fraud and identity theft charges. Prosecutors say he spent decades under the boys’ IDs after escaping from a North Carolina prison in 1973.
DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) — The father of a pregnant woman who was shot and killed in rural southeast Iowa in 2012 says the family can start to heal now that the woman’s husband has been convicted in her slaying. Todd Caldwell says he was disappointed Seth Techel didn’t show emotion in court. Techel faces a mandatory life sentence for Lisa Techel’s death.
MONTROSE, Iowa (AP) — An 88-year-old southeast Iowa man has died in an all-terrain vehicle accident. Lee County authorities say Dale Carter lost control of the vehicle Wednesday while traveling on an incline as he was working in his yard in rural Montrose. He was pinned beneath the vehicle after it rolled backward and landed on top of him.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs signed offensive tackle Ryan Harris and linebacker Josh Mauga while waiving linebacker DeRon Furr on Thursday before their first full-squad practice of training camp. Of course, the big news of the day is the arrival of Jamaal Charles. The Pro Bowl running back was expected at practice after agreeing to terms on a two-year contract extension that will result in $18 million in additional money and keep him with the Chiefs through the 2017 season.
Outside linebacker Justin Houston is also expected at camp after skipping the entire offseason as he angles for a new deal. He’s entering the final year of his rookie contract. The Chiefs have also placed fullback James Baker on the reserve/did not report list.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The Orlando Magic will have all three of their draft picks in training camp following the signing of second-round pick Devyn Marble. Magic general manager Rob Hennigan announced the signing of the 56th pick Thursday. Terms were not disclosed. Marble joins fellow Magic first-round selections Aaron Gordon and Elfrid Payton, who have already signed contracts.
Orlando picked up the extra pick on draft night, along with Evan Fournier, by trading veteran Arron Afflalo to Denver. The 6-foot-6 Marble finished his career at Iowa as the school’s fifth all-time leading scorer, averaging 17 points and 3.6 assists as a senior. The son of former NBA player Roy Marble, the younger Marble was a first-team All-Big Ten selection.
