Rev. Michael Woolf, pictured in the last post, from Lake Street Church in Evanston was arrested today outside of the Broadview ICE facility. Yesterday, he wrote on op-ed on his faithful protest. This line is going to be with me for a while.

Of course, this could all get mooted depending upon what happens in the House with regard to ending the shutdown. But at least for now, the ball is back at the Supreme Court.

I'll have more on this in Monday's regular issue of "One First," which should drop around 7:15 a.m. ET.
