Monday, April 10, 8pm, Columbus Mennonite Church, 35 E. Oakland Park Ave.

Maribel Trujillo Diaz, an Ohio mother of four and local Catholic lay leader, was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) last week; they plan to deport her tonight at 2am.

Although Maribel has lived in the United States for the last 15 years, raised four U.S.-born children, and maintains employment with a legal work permit, ICE has now marked her as “priority” for removal. Tearing families apart is morally wrong and does not make our communities safer.

We will gather this evening at 8pm at Columbus Mennonite Church to caravan together to the Morrow County Correctional Facility [located at 101 Home Road Mt. Gilead, OH, 43338], where she is being detained, to hold a peaceful and prayerful vigil to demand that ICE have #MercyforMaribel.

You may join us just for the caravan send-off at 8pm at Columbus Mennonite Church.

Hosted by Columbus People’s Partnership and three other organizations.
