Iowa City Parade Turns Political: Trump Float Booed Amidst ICE Controversy

Iowa City, IA – During the recent Iowa City Homecoming Parade, a float featuring 'TRUMP' signage and American flags elicited a strong negative reaction from spectators. Onlookers lining the parade route were heard booing as the float passed, reflecting visible public dissent. The incident follows a recent claim by a local resident regarding the alleged apprehension of an individual by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during his work shift at Bread Garden. The author of the video stated, "Right after I ended this video, the mayor yelled out to this float 'GET OUT OF HERE AND TAKE. ICE. WITH. YOU.'" This alleged statement by the mayor, if confirmed, would highlight a significant local political stance against federal immigration policies. The author further emphasized the impact of the ICE action, noting the individual was reportedly "trying to make a living to support his wife and child" and "wasn't hurting anyone." The parade, a traditional community event, thus became a platform for expressing intense political and social sentiments within the Iowa City community.
