Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife.

While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE.

This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

🧡MEASLES

If you're ~40+ pls pls talk to a healthcare provider about a titers test to asses your immunity to measles.

There are several reasons that your immunity may have lapsed; if it has, you can get an MMR booster.

You're doing this for you AND for everyone who's immunocompromised & can't.

The contrast: Kibben, the current House Chaplain, was three days on the job on Jan 6. She rushed to provide pastoral care amid the chaos.

Meanwhile, currently unclear whether Tirabassi, who is reportedly being considered to replace Kibben, was part of a faith-themed election denial event on Jan 6.
