Faith leaders demand consistent access to ICE detention centers during Lent and Ramadan amid rising detainee numbers.
Faith leaders from multiple religions are pushing for consistent access to ICE detention centers during Lent and Ramadan, as detention numbers have surged to as many as 75,000 under the Trump administration.
Clergy and volunteers, including Catholic priests, Muslim chaplains, and Protestant representatives, have secured limited entry after legal challenges, with visits in Chicago, Dallas, and Minneapolis allowing spiritual services and religious items like Qurans and dates.
Despite ICE policies requiring background checks and advance notice, access remains inconsistent, prompting lawsuits over alleged violations of religious freedom.
Advocates stress the need for humane treatment and spiritual support for detainees, many of whom have no outside contact.
