A large crowd assembled in the rotunda of the Milwaukee City Hall on Monday, January 26, 2026. At short notice, clergy and lay leaders from various churches, synagogues and temples had come out in extremely cold temperatures to show support for immigrants who have been brutally snatched up by ICE and Border Patrol agents to be detained and eventually deported. Also observers and bystanders have been targeted, and two people were fatally shot. The Interfaith Conference of Greater Milwaukee in conjunction with Forward Latino called for a prayer vigil, which became at the same time a nonviolent protest. It was a moving event, and many people were in tears.
