Joe Ceballos, the former mayor of Coldwater, Kansas, was detained by ICE after admitting to voting in elections despite not being a U.S. citizen. Ceballos, a 55-year-old legal permanent resident originally from Mexico, was apprehended during a meeting at an ICE office in Wichita. He resigned as mayor in December while facing state charges for illegal voting. Ceballos acknowledged voting during a 2025 naturalization interview, unaware that permanent residents cannot vote. His case has garnered community support, with many rallying outside the ICE office. His attorney plans to seek bail from an immigration judge.
