BROADVIEW, Illinois, Feb 19 (Reuters) - For the first time in six years, two priests and a nun escorted by police have walked past barbed wire and concrete barriers to enter a Chicago-area immigration facility to give communion and ashes to detainees after a judge ordered faith leaders be allowed inside.
Catholic priest Paul Keller recounted the shocked and tear-stained faces of the immigrants at the facility on Ash Wednesday. His hands stained black from distributing ashes, Keller describedit as a bittersweet moment after a months-long court battle to gain access to the facility in order to minister to detainees.
