From the Web site ([Vigils and Courtwatch – ICOM](https://mnicom.org/vigils/)): Every Second Tuesday, 7:30-8:30 AM

On the second Tuesday of every month, ICOM hosts a prayer vigil at the Whipple Federal Building at Fort Snelling, the regional ICE headquarters for a five-state area and the site of both immigrant detention facilities and an immigration court. Since our vigils are held on stolen land we have a [Land Acknowledgement](https://mnicom.org/vigils/land/).

People of any faith and no particular faith are invited to join in an hour of prayer and song, hosted by a rotating cast of faith communities and social justice groups. Guest speakers provide attendees with concrete opportunities to show solidarity with detainees and to oppose inhumane detention practices.

After each vigil, ICOM invites attendees to join in observing immigration court proceedings — a powerful opportunity to witness how the deportation system works. ICOM’s courtwatch is unique in that it can also lead directly to helping detainees and their families. If you’d like to help organize an upcoming vigil or want to lend your voice, music, or other skills, don’t hesitate to reach out! Available on ZOOM too.

Description about October's event from ICOM's email:
The St Joan of Arc Catholic Community, led by the Welcome the Stranger ministry and their amazing choir and musicians, will lead our October vigil with the theme "I Thank My God Every Time I Remember You." St Joan of Arc is located in south Minneapolis and whose vision is to be a visible, progressive Catholic Community, compassionate and welcoming to all.

Interfaith Coalition on Immigration engages in courageous spiritual, multicultural action in solidarity with immigrants and refugees to achieve justice and stand up to systems of oppression.
