Amid ICE Killings, More Than 100 Clergy From Across the US Stage Protest at Delaney Hall

Amid the recent killings of two immigrants by immigration enforcement agents, around 100 religious leaders from across the country staged a protest outside the Delaney Hall immigrant detention center on Monday (July 13) afternoon, demanding the closure of the privately run facility over what they say are inhumane conditions.
