July 1 started off like a normal day. West Liberty resident Pascual Pedro had to meet immigration authorities for a routine check-in appointment. It's something he has done every year since arriving in the U.S. in 2018 from Guatemala with his father. What he didn't know is that meeting would lead to his last moments in a country he has called home for the last seven years. Just five days later, he would find himself back in Guatemala, a place he no longer recognized. In the last few weeks, Iowa City group Escucha Mi Voz, a faith-based immigrant rights group, has rallied around Pedro and his family, demanding state officials help bring back the beloved 20-year-old and former high school soccer star.
