flag Faith leaders barred from ICE facility in Illinois on Christmas Eve due to safety concerns, sparking criticism.

flag On Christmas Eve 2025, a group of faith leaders was denied entry to the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, despite seeking to provide spiritual support to detainees. flag The Department of Homeland Security cited ongoing safety concerns, including past attacks on the site, and stated the facility is a processing field office where religious services are not routinely offered due to the transient nature of detainees. flag The denial marked a shift from previous years when access was permitted. flag Illinois lawmakers and religious groups criticized the decision, calling it a violation of dignity and a setback for detainees’ spiritual needs during the holidays.
