Religious groups and immigrant-support organizations will hold a vigil Monday at two East Bay churches to oppose the deportation of immigrants.
The vigil will take place at 6:30 p.m. at St. Jarlath Church, 2620 Pleasant St. in Oakland, and St. Clement Church, 750 Calhoun St. in Hayward. Hosts of the vigil hope the event encourages law enforcement not to collaborate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to Oakland-based nonprofit Faith in Action East Bay.
