Overview

• Escucha Mi Voz shared footage that appears to show two men not in uniform taking Gonzalez Ochoa from Bread Garden Market in Iowa City.
• KCCI reports he was applying for asylum and wore an ankle monitor used by immigration authorities for tracking.
• The group described the detention as unprovoked and demanded his release, while KCCI noted it is unclear if the video was edited before publication.

• An Iowa State Patrol vehicle blocked the park’s entrance during the operation, and ICE did not provide further details to KCCI.
