Thank you to the Coalition for Spiritual and Public Leadership (CSPL). Many Catholic parishes, allies, & friends of CSPL came together for this action. We were disappointed by the 2nd denial, especially after following DHS stated procedures.

Everyone has a right to practice their faith. We will continue to defend our migrant brothers and sisters. 🙏

We will see you on Saturday, November 1st! ✊🏾🙏🏽🌹

On All Saints Day, we affirm that in Christ there is no separation: the prophets of justice intercede from heaven, those killed by ICE like Silverio cry out for mercy, the detained endure inside, and the people of God stand together outside in prophetic witness.⁣

Activists in Chicago, barred from giving Communion to ICE detainees, plan next actions A group of Catholics who marched to a Chicago immigration processing center and were prevented from giving Communion to detainees said they are not about to back down.

A group of Catholics who marched to a Chicago immigration processing center three days ago and were prevented from giving Communion to detainees said they are not about to back down.

Crowd gathered outside facility continues to sing “Pan de Vida.”

As the procession reaches Broadview, priests have been denied access to ICE detention facility in order to bring the Eucharist to detainees.

At Broadview detention center, organizers say ICE detainees “have been snatched away from their dining room tables, and now they have been taken away from the Eucharistic table.” The crowd shouts: “Shame!”

Religious leaders denied request to deliver Communion to detainees at Broadview facility Meanwhile, two days after a judge ordered the removal of a fence erected by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, barricades were being put up in front of the fence on Saturday.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

For any Catholic, the sight of a Eucharistic Procession being turned away at the gates of the destination is the embodiment of Jesus being denied entrance. You don't have to be Catholic to get the symbolism in that!

Amen

Religious leaders denied request to deliver communion to detainees at Broadview facility Hundreds of people joined a delegation of Catholic priests and nuns marching to the Broadview detention site to hold communion, but they were turned away with no reason given. A total of 15 protesters...

And the exact moment they're turned away: bsky.app/profile/unra...

We’re wondering the same thing. How can you deny the body of Christ and our right to extend communion to those in need of hope, solidarity and kinship. What is there to hide inside the detention center is so morally offensive that they’re unwilling to allow nuns and priests to enter?

A group of hundreds of faith in coalition who started at a Maywood church just arrived at the detention center for a eucharistic procession.

They want to offer communion to detainees inside, but won't be able to get past the barricades and fence on Beach Street.
