Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Coalition for Spirituality & Public Life host a Eucharistic Procession from St. Eulalia in Maywood to the ICE Detention Center in Broadview where there will be prayer & Communion. The Coalition will also try to bring Holy Communion to those detained in the facility, which is a right by Illinois law.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

Look, you should read the rest of the thread and judge this tweet in that light, but you should also read it in light of things like Pritzker's calling on Trump to send more FBI and DEA agents.

This kind of Orwellian dissembling about "public safety around the Broadview ICE facility" is really bad!

State, county, and local law enforcement have been working together and coordinating to ensure public safety around the Broadview ICE facility, and to protect people’s ability to peacefully exercise their constitutional rights.

If we get to the point where an ER has to turn people with life-threatening medical emergencies away without critical care because of their legal status, I *will* become a fire-and-brimstone street preacher.

I will stand on your street corners describing the wrath of God at the top of my lungs.

Today on the House Floor: Democrats are ready to pass legislation to keep the government open and protect Americans' health care.

Republicans are nowhere to be found.
