Our hearts are with Temple Israel — the largest reform synagogue in the U.S. — and with our Jewish community across the country. We’re relieved that, as of now, no one at the synagogue was seriously hurt. No one should have to fear for their safety anywhere, let alone inside of a house of worship.

Jack Jenkins@jackjenkins.me · 6mo agoIt appears several clergy were just arrested as they staged an anti-ICE protest in the Russell Rotunda in the U.S. Senate office building.

Here in Minneapolis, hundreds of clergy from all over the country have been deployed into the streets to participate in ICE/DHS watch. The hail from a range of religious traditions, and have come from all over. This particular group is in a heavily immigrant neighborhood.
A year after her sermon to Trump asking him to “have mercy” on immigrants and other groups, Bishop Mariann Budde, the Episcopal bishop of Washington, is speaking against ICE alongside other faith leaders in MN. Says: “In our varied and united faith traditions, love of neighbor is not optional.”
Trump said God would be "very proud" of his first year back in office and touted himself as a champion of religion and America's faith communities. We've got the receipts to prove otherwise:
