What a photograph.
What a photograph.
“Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…”
Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Almost certainly.
The Shitcago diocese has been especially prominent in their "nobody is illegal" clap trap for over a decade now, at least. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if one - or more - of their priests got busted getting too handsy in an "anti-ICE protest".

Are they really "faith leaders"? Or are they the "funky feel good, do what you like because the Bible doesn't really matter" folks?

The cardinal needs to stop preaching lefty doctrine and stick to the good book

Cardinal Cupich is a lefty activist IMO

ASSuming that the dude isn't an Antifoid in costume and taking it at face value, what is the context? Did the clergyman get taken down randomly without provocation, as Reuters wants readers to ASSume? Or, pretty much certainly, did he participate actively in violence?
Hopefully he gets full FAFO.

Looks staged to me. Why would the police let a photographer that close to a detainee?

they may believe in the "nobody is illegal" mantra but a well known fact is nobody is above the law when you interfere with a Law Enforcement operation

"independent journalist" aka wannabe internet influencer on the ground getting arrested too managed to get their phone out for a quick pic? Your thoughts make more sense though.
This "pastor" is quite the piece of work, based on his website...
Michael's first book, Sanctuary and Subjectivity: Thinking Theologically About Whiteness in Sanctuary Movements, is part of T&T Clark's Studies in Social Ethics, Ethnography and Theologies series. His second book, Confronting Islamophobia in the Church: Liturgical Tools for Justice, is available from Judson Press in January 2026.
Michael's work on reparations has been featured in The Christian Century, and he is a sought-after workshop leader for white churches with complicated racial histories.
In seminary I served as a seminarian organizer for Interfaith Worker Justice in Boston, MA, where I learned valuable skills in connecting faith congregations to issues of labor justice. I am passionate about immigration justice, gun violence, racial justice, and LGBTQ+ equality.

Anyone interfering with law-enforcement operations deserves to get some FaceTime with the sidewalk. Not only should they get arrested they should get some bumps and bruises to remember their stupidity. :thatsright:

The pastor, Michael Woolf, pastors a Lake Street Church in Evanston, IL. He has an MDiv and ThD from Harvard. He was ordained by the Lib/Prog American Baptist Church. https://www.lakestreet.org/ministers-and-staff
Is there a non-partisan report of what led to this arrest?
