US faith leaders opposed to ICE raids counsel nonviolent resistance and lead by example
- Faith leaders across multiple U.S. cities led protests and gatherings against ICE raids and immigration enforcement in early to mid-June 2025.
- These events arose from increased ICE arrests and federal immigration sweeps that activists and community leaders say threaten immigrant families and violate human dignity.
- In Philadelphia on June 12, faith leaders demanded reaffirmation of sanctuary policies amid tensions, while Mayor Parker noted the city’s 2016 executive order remains and the city is now termed a 'welcoming city.'
- Reverend Robin Hynicka called the immigration system 'violent, racist, and unconstitutional' and urged city officials to denounce ICE, reinforce sanctuary status, and reject police cooperation with federal enforcement.
- The protests and calls for nonviolent resistance indicate rising community fears but also organized efforts to protect immigrants, with ongoing national debates about ICE tactics and immigrant rights.
