Clergy seek court order to allow pastoral access to immigrants held at Minneapolis ICE facility - AP News

A group of clergy members has moved to obtain a court order granting them access to immigrants detained at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Minneapolis. The religious leaders are seeking to provide pastoral care and counseling to detainees, a service they say is being restricted or denied under current facility policies. Such access disputes have become increasingly common as immigration enforcement operations continue, with religious organizations arguing that spiritual support is essential for vulnerable populations in custody. The case will likely hinge on questions about detainees' rights to religious services and the government's operational security concerns at the facility.
