The Johnson County Sheriff's Office says they are disappointed after flyers appeared across Iowa City, encouraging people to "Keep Iowa Nice," and actively report illegal immigrants.

The disappointment comes nearly one week after a series of flyers that said: "Keep Iowa Nice, Call ICE," referring to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, appeared on message boards and kiosks in the downtown area of Iowa City.

"There's no place for that behavior," said Det. Sgt. Brad Kunkel. Despite the flyers technically not qualifying as a crime, Det. Sgt. Kunkel said he was still concerned with the potential repercussions- especially when it comes to an immigrant reporting, or a being a victim of, a crime.

Det. Sgt. Kunkel explained from a law enforcement standpoint, even if it was a simple question someone wanted to answered by the sheriff's office, they would not want anyone of any background to hesitate to reach out to their local law enforcement agencies.
