The public schools superintendent of Des Moines, Iowa, has resigned while challenging his deportation after being detained by immigration authorities.

Today’s demonstration is organized by several groups, including the Iowa City Catholic Worker and Escucha Mi Voz Iowa. They plan to accompany several immigrant families during check-ins with ICE. In some cases, these meetings have ended with immigrants being detained.

Jorge Gonzalez, 27, was under investigation for fraud before his arrest at Bread Garden Market, ICE said in a statement defending the actions.

The superintendent of Iowa’s largest school district, who was detained last week by immigration agents, falsely claimed a doctoral degree when applying for the job two years ago but was hired even after the school board learned about the misrepresentation.
