Legal permanent resident detained alongside U.S. citizen during Olathe ICE operation
Jul 11, 2026 · Olathe, KS

A 20-year-old lawful permanent resident was detained for hours on July 11 during an ICE operation at an apartment complex in Olathe. He was arrested alongside his cousin, Alan Marquez, after ICE agents claimed both men rammed or attempted to ram into federal agents—a claim the men deny. Police transported both men to county jail and held them for several hours before they were released without criminal charges. The legal permanent resident fears that pursuing legal action could jeopardize his immigration status and has decided not to pursue the matter.
