(Des Moines, IA) — A court challenge is expected quickly to what opponents are calling an “ag-gag” law. Adam Mason, state policy director for Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement, says if Governor Reynolds signs it into law, there will be lawsuits. “Because this one specifically addresses photo and video evidence, we assume it to be unconstitutional and that was one of our arguments in fighting them,” Mason says. While I-C-C-I is considering its next step, Mason says he’s heard animal rights activist Matthew Johnson, who was arrested on trespassing charges at an Iowa pork operation, will likely be taking the issue to court.
