DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – The latest from the presidential candidates as they meet and greet voters on the last day of the Iowa State Fair. All times are local.

12:30 p.m.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal wants to go farther than most in cracking down on so-called sanctuary cities that shield immigrants in the country illegally from federal authorities.

The Republican presidential candidate says the political leaders of such cities should themselves face criminal penalties. Says Jindal: “Let’s lock them up.”

Jindal made the comment Saturday in an appearance on the Iowa State Fair’s political soapbox, a common stop for presidential candidates.
