They tried to sign it with a pattern, but they got a little nervous.
It was led by Chicago Cardinal Blaise Cupich.
He celebrated mass, then led a procession to the Broadview Detention Center.
The site gained attention during the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Operation Midway Blitz aimed at arresting illegal immigrants with criminal records.
Joining us now is Father Leandro Fossa from Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Melrose Park, Illinois.
Father, you attended the Mass and procession.
Can you tell us more about the turnout and the overall feeling?
While I wish the new administration success in promoting the common good, the reports being circulated of planned mass deportations targeting the Chicago area are not only profoundly disturbing but also wound us deeply.
For members of faith communities, the threatened mass deportation also leaves us with the searing question,
What is God telling us in this moment?
People of faith are called to speak for the rights of others and to remind society of its obligation to care for those in need.
If the indiscriminate mass deportation being reported were to be carried out, this would be an affront to the dignity of all people and communities and deny the legacy of what it means to be an American.
Families are being torn apart.

These actions wound the soul of our city.
Let me be clear.
The church stands with migrants.
Thank you, Rachel.
Good to be with you.
