The Society of the Sacred Heart, United States – Canada Province, has signed a statement by Catholic leaders demanding that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) immediately release all children and their associated family members detained at three detention centers named in a recent federal court ruling. In the face of a global pandemic, any delay can be deadly.

Juneteenth is a day honored and celebrated in the United States, as it marks the final proclamation, in 1865 in Texas, that enslaved persons were free.

Black and brown persons, today, continue to endure and raise their voices against systemic racism and injustice. -
