Mexican national ordered set free from Woodbury County (Iowa) jail [View all]
https://www.radioiowa.com/2025/10/29/mexican-national-ordered-set-free-from-woodbury-county-jail/A federal judge is ordering the release of a man who was detained in northwest Iowa for being in the country without legal status.
Armando Garcia Picazo was sent to the Woodbury County jail in early August after ICE agents picked him up.
Guy Weinstein is Garcia Picazo’s lawyer and says his client was forced to stay behind bars, even though a judge set bond so he could try to legally stay in the U.S.
Weinstein says, “What the public doesn’t realize is that there’s a lot of individuals like Armando Garcia Picasso that have zero criminal history, they’ve been here in the community for a number of years, that this administration is trying to remove.”
