There have been at least 159 shootings at schools in the US in 2025—resulting in 53 deaths and 148 injuries nationally. America’s epidemic of school shootings is a policy choice made by lawmakers who would rather cower to the gun lobby than support gun safety measures that are proven to save lives.

We remain steadfast in our demands for freedom: We demand the immediate release of those detained. We demand an end to regional ICE activity. We demand human dignity for all people, without exception. We demand the right to offer spiritual care to those detained — because even in confinement, every person deserves compassion, prayer, and presence. God does not bless cages. God does not sanction abductions. God demands freedom.
From a statement from faith leaders at Broadview this morning:
"God does not bless cages. God does not sanction abductions. God demands freedom."
“God does not live in our houses of worship, but instead chooses to dwell with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment,” wrote the Rev. Michael Woolf in a RNS op-ed y’day. He & other faith leaders were arrested today at an ICE facility in Broadview IL.
