Hundreds of immigration supporters walk toward the Cedar Rapids ICE Field Office on Square D Drive, the main road to the facility, on Tuesday, Sept. 2, 2025. Yellow police tape with black text can be seen stretching left of the people. People carry a sign that says, "Refugees welcome." One man is pushing a baby stroller.
