Interfaith Vigil Held for Those Detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

Every Tuesday, a group of faithful women from different religious organizations gather in front of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office in Los Angeles to pray, sing, and testify. The group, Godmothers of the Disappeared, has held this vigil since May when Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers began illegally detaining American citizens and immigrants across the city. 

Their weekly expression of compassion and resistance is held to demand the release of those being detained and disappeared by ICE, and to urge ICE agents and other federal officials to stop participating in the persecution of the Los Angeles community.

On Tuesday, December 2, 2025 the vigil was led by Presbyterians representing different congregations and Presbyteries across the greater Los Angeles region.
