Clergy Fight for Access to Immigrant Detainees

Protestant and Catholic clergy in Minnesota are seeking access to immigrants held at a Minneapolis federal building, filing a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security for prompt in-person visits to provide spiritual support. The Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building, a hub for immigration enforcement, has blocked their ministry during key religious times. Faith leaders across Minnesota support the lawsuit, as similar battles rage nationwide. Government lawyers argue that visitor rules have been relaxed and clergy visits are approved, but the hearing underscores broader clashes over detainee rights, leaving spiritual care in limbo for those in custody.
