Jewish clergy and community members will gather in near ICE headquarters to visibilize the growing, faith-rooted opposition to ICE’s cruel and unfounded immigration enforcement system. Grounded in core Jewish values, this action makes clear that there is broad Jewish communal consensus rejecting policies that dehumanize our neighbors. Through prayer, moral witness, and public testimony, participants will demonstrate that this system is a failure of both morality and policy – and that it does not have to be this way. |
