On June 27, 2026, four immigrant construction workers employed at the QTS data center in Cedar Rapids were detained by ICE agents without being informed of the reason for their arrest. The workers—Dailyn Zambrano Morales, Lenin Primera Esis, Job Guerra Finol, and Wilman Gorutt Muchacho—were intercepted by agents in unmarked vehicles while heading to work. Gorutt Muchacho stated: "They arrested me without telling me the reason or why they were doing it." The agents transported all four to the ICE office in Cedar Rapids and then to Linn County Jail. According to advocacy group Escucha Mi Voz Iowa, none of the detained workers have criminal records.
