I love the "Avengers, Assemble" aspect of this where an array of different denominations and faiths are arriving. Evangelical Lutherans next to Reform rabbis.
The clergy just keep coming to this anti-ICE protest.
Genuinely unclear where they all will go — it’s packed outside on the sidewalk already.
