This was on facebook: "This is not cool, and unfortunately, something I warned would begin to happen. Persecution of Christians by the government. ICE agents arrested Sister Letty Ugboaja a block from her own church, handcuffed her in her habit, and took away her rosary as she walked to Sunday Mass in McAllen, Texas. Sister Letty is 56. She's a registered nurse who has spent more than a decade caring for patients in South Texas hospitals. On Sundays she serves communion at Our Lady of Sorrows. She lives one block from the church, and last Sunday morning she never made it there. The agents gave no explanation. They drove her an hour to a detention center in Raymondville. A fellow sister who reached her by phone in custody says she was terrified, didn't understand what was happening, and that agents refused to let her have the medication she needed. Her diocese says she is in this country legally. Here's how this becomes possible. For decades, government policy kept immigration agents away from churches, hospitals, and schools. Trump revoked those protections in his first days back in office. A nun in handcuffs on a Sunday sidewalk is not a glitch in the system. It is the system. #usa #ice #persecution #christians
