California: Faith Leaders Arrested at Gathering to Support Migrants
-------------------------------------------------------------------

In San Diego, over 30 faith leaders were arrested at the U.S.-Mexico
border Monday as they held a gathering in support of Central American
migrants, calling for an end to their detention and deportation. The
group is also calling on Congress to defund Immigration and Customs
Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection. Some 400 people came out
to the demonstration, organized by the American Friends Service
Committee. The group had planned to hold a prayer circle at the border
wall before they were stopped by police and Border Patrol.
