Some Catholic leaders from New York and New Jersey have organized a demonstration in Newark, New Jersey, against the Trump administration's immigration policies.
Protesters plan to gather at a church and then march to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in downtown Newark. Cardinal Joseph Tobin of the Archdiocese of Newark will bless the protest and accompany the march.
"Images of immigrant children detained in cages, separated from family members, and living in unsanitary, unhealthy conditions have outraged the nation in recent weeks,"Eli McCarthy, director of justice and peace for the Catholic leadership organization Conference of Major Superiors of Men, in a letter publicizing the march.
"The faith community has decried this treatment of children not only as a violation of human dignity and rights, but also as contrary to religious teachings and the sacred call to care for all people, especially those who are most at risk such as children." In addition to the ICE office, New Jersey has four immigrant detention centers, according to McCarthy, incarcerating as many as 2,500 people including parents who have been separated from their children at the southern border.
