| Summary:

Utilizing JWST MIRI/MRS IFU observations of the kiloparsec scale central
regions, we showcase the diversity of ionized gas distributions and kinematics
in six nearby Seyfert galaxies included in the GATOS survey. Specifically, we
present spatially resolved flux distribution and velocity field maps of six
ionized emission lines covering a large range of ionization potentials
($15.8-97.1$ eV). Based on these maps, we showcase the evidence of ionized gas
outflows in the six targets, and find some highly disturbed regions in
NGC,5728, NGC,5506, and ESO137-G034. We propose AGN-driven radio jets
plausibly play an important role in triggering these highly disturbed regions.
With the outflow rates estimated based on [Ne~{footnotesize V}] emission, we
find the six targets tend to have ionized outflow rates converged to a narrower
range than previous finding. These results have important implication for the
outflow properties in AGN of comparable luminosity.
