The second Tuesday of the month at 7:30 a.m. is a Prayer Vigil at the Whipple Building at Fort Snelling where the Immigration Court is located along with a detention center. I am grateful for the folks who showed up Tuesday morning in the cold, including a group of students from Bethel University. It was good to see some young faces. Organized by ICOM Minnesota (Interfaith Coalition on Immigration). It was Veterans Day so the facility was closed, but we got a chance to interact with our fellow community members and I got the chance to talk to Emily from Bethel. Just being present makes a difference and I am grateful for all those who showed up.Wednesday, November 12, 2025
