An interfaith group in Los Angeles, called the godmothers of the disappeared, holds weekly vigils to remember immigrants taken by ICE during the Trump administration's mass deportation campaign. - The group gathers at the Los Angeles Federal Building, a site with a history of racial violence.
- They have raised $22,000 to assist over 100 families with bail and legal aid. - Inspired by Argentina's Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, they pray for detainees and even for law enforcement.
- The vigil includes songs, prayers, and placing flowers at detention center entrances. The godmothers aim to maintain activism in a calm space, fostering healing and solidarity.
