"On August 20th, at the end of those six days, in the stinking heat of that hot, hot August, the protesters were let out and they were just dumped outside. No transportation anywhere, no warning. They were just dumped out in the street. And then picture this, this, this young seminarian again, he`s wearing his clerical collar, which he has now been wearing for six days in jail."
"He`s 26 years old and he`s with another priest, another white priest, a Catholic priest who`s about the same age as him. He`s newly ordained as a Catholic priest. He`s 27. And these two priests, age 26 and 27, both white men, both dressed for work as priests, both dressed in their clerical collars. They get out of jail after six days spent in there."
Protests against President Donald Trump's policies and actions are linked to the 1965 murder of Rev. Jonathan Daniels. Prominent religious figures stepped forward to support protests against deportation forces following the killing of Renee Good and to oppose the president's campaign to seize Greenland. New Hampshire Bishop Rob Hirschfeld warned of a new era of martyrdom at a vigil for Good. The 1965 incident involved Daniels and other protesters being released after six days in jail into stifling August heat without transportation or warning. Daniels, a 26-year-old seminarian in his clerical collar, and a newly ordained 27-year-old Catholic priest sought a Coke with fellow protesters after release, illustrating vulnerability and risk faced by activists.
