一名联邦法官裁定,ICE必须允许天主教神职人员向Ash星期三的伊利诺伊州Bloadview监狱的被拘留者分发骨灰和管理圣餐,理由是侵犯宗教自由。 A federal judge has ruled that ICE must permit Catholic clergy to distribute ashes and administer Communion to detainees at the Broadview, Illinois, facility on Ash Wednesday, citing violations of religious freedom. 这项由法官罗伯特·W·盖特曼于2026年2月12日发布的决定,是由于精神和公共领导联盟的诉讼,该联盟挑战了ICE最近的限制,阻止了精神护理,包括圣诞节. The decision, issued by Judge Robert W. Gettleman on Feb. 12, 2026, follows a lawsuit by the Coalition for Spiritual and Public Leadership, which challenged ICE’s recent restrictions that blocked spiritual care, including at Christmas. 法官认为,政府未能证明这些限制是必要或限制性最小的手段,命令ICE与该团体协调,为今后的服务制定安全规程。 The judge found the government failed to justify the restrictions as necessary or the least restrictive means, ordering ICE to coordinate with the group to establish safe protocols for future services. 这项裁决肯定了被拘留移民的精神权利,神职人员预计将在Ash星期三举行礼拜会,并计划在Melrose公园举行公众群众活动,以显示团结精神。 The ruling affirms the spiritual rights of detained migrants, with clergy expected to conduct Ash Wednesday services and a public Mass planned in Melrose Park to show solidarity. ICE和国土安全部都没有公开回应。 Neither ICE nor DHS has publicly responded.
