Immigration and Customs Enforcement

 It rained heavily as we circumambulated the ICE building today at our monthly gathering and meditative walk. I felt as though the sky was shedding tears...the tears of children and parents separated at the border, as well as countless others seeking asylum. Thousands...separated and detained in facilities in the United States. 
San Francisco Chronicle: “New report blasts U.S. on immigrant detainees”
“More than 400,000 people a year are detained by immigration officials in the United States – including undocumented immigrants, legal immigrants who run afoul of the law and asylum seekers who come fleeing persecution – but according to a report released today by Amnesty International, conditions are often deplorable and detainees are routinely denied due process.”
