Anderson of Des Moines, who was allegedly beat to death by Ngor Makuey in July. Under 
Anderson’s name were the words: “Home invasion, beaten to death by an illegal alien on 7-9-2014.”
Makuey, 19, was living in the United States legally on July 2, when the fatal attack occurred and Makuey was arrested. His family fled war in Sudan before being grant refugee status and moving to Utah. Makuey is scheduled for trial in January. Police said he went into Anderson’s home for an unknown reason and brutally beat Anderson and his 94-year-old wife, who survived.
Ussery, the Minutemen organizer, cited raids in Postville and the poor working conditions immigrants face and said that “illegal immigration is akin to modern-day slavery.”
If steps are taken to deport people who have immigrated illegally and to ensure people don’t continue to illegally move to the United States, Ussery said, the benefits would be clear across the state.
“Wages will go up in Iowa, and there would be less crime,” he said.
Ussery said he will continue to contact legislators and political officials until he sees laws change.
“It’s not that I lack compassion. They just need to come in legally,” Ussery said.
