That same call led me to travel from Ossining, New York, to Minneapolis last week as one of 700 clergy from across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For two days, Jan. 22 and 23, we stood with the besieged immigrant community there. Returning on Saturday \u2014 while still on the plane after landing at LaGuardia airport \u2014 I learned of the killing of Alex Pretti by federal agents earlier that morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The organization <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marchminnesota.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Multifaith Antiracism Change and Healing<\/a> (MARCH), an interfaith religious coalition in Minneapolis, had put out an urgent call asking faith leaders to come and witness what was happening in their city. They asked us to \u201cbear the burden together\u201d of the impact of Immigration and Customs Enforcement on their neighborhoods. Rooted in the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., they echoed \u201cA Call to Selma\u201d in their invitation, \u201cA Call to Minneapolis: Faith Leaders Answering History in a Time of Peril and Possibility.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jesus sent out the disciples in pairs. I found comfort in the company of my longtime friend, the Rev. Renata Eustis, a Lutheran pastor. Our convened group represented <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2024\/10\/mission-is-common-goal-of-synod-and-ecumenism-pope-says\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">different faith traditions<\/a> and cultural realities, with people of many ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"985\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.maryknollsociety.org\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/IMG_2295ED-rotated-e1769708278440-985x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Jean Walsh, left, and friend Renata Eustis joined an estimated 50,000 marchers at the Target Center in Minneapolis to protest the immigration enforcement surge in that city.

They related the horror of abductions, family separations and the tragic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2026\/01\/after-ice-shooting-minneapolis-archbishop-pleads-for-prayers-calm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">killing of Renee Good<\/a> by an ICE officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later that morning, we divided up to visit impacted communities. My group of 200 of us traveled to a neighborhood devastated by ICE, where many local stores and restaurants have closed. We walked through the neighborhood wearing our clergy stoles and purchasing items from stores that were still open. We had a sacred encounter with one store owner, an immigrant himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He proudly told us that he had personally helped more than 3,000 people to fill out Delegation of Parental Authority (DOPA) forms. The DOPA is a legal document allowing a parent to temporarily authorize another adult to care for their child and is essential for immigrant families in case the parents are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2026\/01\/ice-deported-minnesota-church-employee-surveilled-parish-during-mass\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">detained<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>That afternoon, a Native American spiritual healer from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2022\/12\/in-search-of-lakota-spirit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the Lakota Nation<\/a> invited us to center ourselves in both prayer and action, an important grounding for the following day\u2019s work. In the evening, the visiting clergy traveled to different houses of worship for dinner. Rev. Renata and I went to a synagogue that welcomed us and fed our stomachs and our spirits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Friday, all the faith leaders joined Minnesotans for the National Day of Truth and Freedom, demanding that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/12\/baton-rouge-bishop-suspends-mass-obligation-amid-ice-crackdown\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ICE<\/a> leave their state. Approximately 100 clergy members from Minnesota participated in nonviolent civil disobedience at the airport, where three flights depart daily with immigrants who have been abducted and are being deported. The theme for their action was \u201cBusiness as Usual Does Not Fly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the meantime, hundreds of us visited local churches and community centers to deepen our knowledge of what was happening. At the church where Rev. Renata and I went, leaders told us of their many programs to support the immigrant community: a healing center, a feeding program and a free health clinic. The pastor asked the visiting clergy to lead a procession and to sing as we slowly walked around the block, explaining that many people live in fear and do not leave their homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also heard from a panel of young adults in the neighborhood who have coordinated a rapid response network. Noting that \u201cmany blocks got organized after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2020\/09\/remembering-george-floyd-38th-chicago\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">George Floyd<\/a>,\u201d they shared stories of accompanying children to school and following ICE vehicles \u2014 or being followed by them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the panel concluded, the pastor announced that an ICE abduction had just occurred in the neighborhood and that people fleeing had been hurt. The injured were being treated downstairs at the health clinic. The church went into lockdown, and we sang and prayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the lockdown ended, we made our way downtown, marching with 50,000 others to the Target Center. My heart was warm, even though the weather was freezing cold. Ushered into the center, we heard the national anthem of the Dakota people being sung and then listened to religious leaders. Union leaders spoke of their demand that ICE leave Minnesota, as well as holding accountable the ICE officer responsible for Renee Good\u2019s murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the event at the center, we headed to the final stop of our pilgrimage, Shiloh Baptist Ministries in North <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2026\/01\/after-minneapolis-shooting-deaths-cardinal-says-stop-funding-lawless-organization\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Minneapolis<\/a>, which was ending its day of fasting and prayer with a prayer service. Over and over, the speakers lifted up Dr. King, repeating his words: \u201cNo lie can live forever\u201d and \u201cTruth pressed to the earth will rise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The final pastor to speak called us to further action, reminding us that, as Dr. King said, \u201cwe cannot be neutral.\u201d With confidence, he remarked, \u201cWe are in Kairos time \u2014 a time of possibility.\u201d We received the benediction to go forth to \u201covercome evil with good.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learning of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ewtnnews.com\/world\/us\/priest-who-worked-with-alex-pretti-says-he-was-known-for-kindness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Alex Pretti<\/a>\u2019s shooting on my return, I was deeply saddened, but my baptismal call will not let me despair. Jesus keeps calling, and I pray I will keep responding. Let all of us continue to do what we can, as often as we can, to overcome evil with good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Featured image: A young woman becomes emotional at a makeshift memorial in Minneapolis Jan. 25, 2026, at the site where a man was fatally shot by federal agents trying to detain him Jan. 24.
