Note: while not unprecedented, it’s actually pretty rare for a sitting Catholic bishop to participate in a demonstration. It’s just not generally what Catholic bishops do.
Thus: Getting the hierarchy involved in this protest outside an ICE facility is no small thing.

Religion note: For years, conservative Christians — particularly evangelicals — heralded the cause of persecuted Christians, insisting the U.S. should aid them.
But since Trump was inaugurated, accepting (virtually) anyone fleeing *religious* persecution as a refugee has stopped altogether.

The No Kings March in Chicago is one of the largest gatherings I’ve seen here. Looking down from by the river, the crowd stretches for blocks down Michigan Ave and wraps around Wacker Dr. This video is from a few minutes ago and the end of the protest is nowhere in sight.
