San Diego - Newly appointed Bishop Pham and the Jesuit posse
Eight immigration courts line the fourth-floor hallway of the downtown Edward J. Schwartz Federal Building. On the walls: boot prints of ICE agents.
But on World Refugee Day, masked immigration agents weren’t leaning against the off-white walls, waiting to grab people. They scattered Friday after seeing a clergy delegation led by Bishop-elect Michael Pham.
“Like the story of Moses and Exodus, the Red Sea parted,” said observer Scott Reid of the immigrant-aiding San Diego Organizing Project.
Said another: “We’ve never seen the hallways cleared out so quickly.”

Seems they did a successful exorcism or something. Fitting. Father Merrin and Father Karras would be proud.
