I have a law-abiding parishioner who was detained in Minneapolis as he showed up at his normally scheduled immigration appointment yesterday. His lawyer is having difficulties figuring out what is going on. If anyone has any contacts that may be able to help, please let me know.
I have a friend who if you met her, you'd say, yup, that's a future nun. I lived with her for a year. Definitely like living with a nun. But her family history, including her father's mental health issues and her parent's divorce has gotten her rejected...I've lost count. ๐
