Allies of Knoxville’s Immigrant Neighbors (AKIN), an immigrant and refugee advocacy group, is calling for the release of Alejandro Guizar Lozano from ICE custody.
Lozano, a 32-year-old undocumented immigrant, was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in Putnam County, according to AKIN.
“It’s still quite a shock that he was detained,” said Nat Morales with AKIN. “As resilient immigrant communities, we always have each other’s backs.”
Lozano has been an active member of the Knoxville community for over 20 years, said AKIN. Author's summary: AKIN demands release of detained immigrant member.
