‘The holy family is in hiding’: nativity scenes at US churches push back on ICE
AI Summary
In the United States, some churches are using nativity scenes to protest the Trump administration's immigration policies. These satirical displays depict Jesus, Mary, and Joseph as victims of ICE. For example, Lake Street Church in Evanston, Illinois, features baby Jesus in a manger wrapped in a foil blanket with zip-tied wrists, resembling the treatment of ICE detainees. These nativity scenes aim to critique the agency's tactics and highlight the plight of immigrants. The displays have appeared during the Christmas season in response to what the churches see as an aggressive crackdown on immigration.
