Trump Pardons Iowans Convicted in Jan. 6 Capitol Attack 2025-01-21President Donald Trump, in his first day in office, signed pardons or commutations for all individuals convicted of taking part in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, including 9 Iowans. The pardons include Doug Jensen of Des Moines, who pursued a Capitol Police officer up a stairway, and Kyle Young of Redfield and Salvador Sandoval of Ankeny, who were convicted of violence against police. The pardons have been criticized by an officer assaulted during the riot. Iowa Bill Would Restrict Release of Mugshot Photos 2025-01-21A bill passed by an Iowa House subcommittee would restrict the release of mugshot photos to the public until a person is convicted of a crime. The bill aims to address issues faced by people who are arrested but not convicted, as their mugshots can still be published online and cause problems. Lobbyists supported the intent of the bill but suggested some changes, such as requiring photos to be released in certain exemptions and clarifying when photos can be shared within law enforcement. Iowa Lawmakers Seek to Disband Citizen Police Review Boards 2025-01-21Iowa Senate Republicans are again trying to pass legislation that would prohibit cities from establishing citizen review boards to provide oversight of local law enforcement. The bill would also make changes to civil service commissions that oversee the hiring and discipline of police officers and other civil servants. Supporters argue the boards can unfairly target officers, while opponents say the bill would increase costs for taxpayers and reduce accountability. |
