Public comment at the Palm Bay City Council meeting included repeated appeals on two distinct issues: a request that the council review and potentially terminate a contract for 'Flock' automatic license-plate readers amid concerns about misidentifications and data-sharing, and calls for a formal council resolution and letters urging intervention in the case of Mohammed Ibrahim, a Palm Bay teen said to be detained overseas.

Kristen Lanzano described multiple local and national incidents in which Flock alerts allegedly caused wrongful stops or detentions and said she has repeatedly sought clear information on the program’s start and renewal dates, data-storage policies, and whether federal sharing violations require contract review. Lanzano said she was told the cameras were funded by a law-enforcement trust fund and that the police department had offered to provide more information; she asked the council to place a public hearing on the issue.

Several speakers separately asked the council to issue a formal resolution calling for the "immediate release and safe return" of Mohammed Ibrahim and to send letters to the White House, the State Department and the congressional delegation asking for urgent intervention. Caroline Abidin and Andre Rodriguez, both identifying themselves as Palm Bay residents, described Ibrahim’s detention, alleged harsh treatment, and delayed court appearances and requested municipal support in the form of a resolution and outreach. Mayor Medina and council members directed speakers to the State Department for consular matters but agreed to document the requests and consider appropriate local actions such as resolutions or letters.

The council did not take immediate formal action on either request during the meeting but staff and councilmembers indicated they would pass public concerns to relevant staff and explore how the city might respond or provide information to residents.
