TUCSON, Ariz. (KVOA) - More than 60 people gathered on Tucson's south side on Friday night for a vigil against ongoing deportations and detentions by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Attendees rallied against federal immigration policy outside an ICE facility on South Country Club and E Valencia Road. The event featured prayer, song, and a poem, as organizations and residents came together to show support for those affected by ICE operations.
