This photojournalist and reporter duo, Camilla Forte and Aydali Campa, covered a group of local religious leaders who have been peacefully protesting for the past twenty years by praying outside of a Chicago-area ICE processing facility, and with the detainees inside.

The recent increase in ICE agency presence and protests at the facility have forced the group to relocate a block away to avoid being arrested or tear gassed. Aydali and Camilla’s specific focus on the prayer group offered unique insight into ICE’s effects in Chicago.
