26 Federal Plaza houses the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) offices and immigration courts. It is a site of extreme trauma for immigrant communities.

Our brothers and sisters come into this building with a real fear that they can be picked up and taken away from their families at any time.

During the march, we walk in prayerful silence and pause at the front of the building where we raise our hands in prayer.
