The display, outside St. Susanna Parish in Dedham, Massachusetts, includes the traditional shepherds, sheep and wise men gathered around a hay-filled manger. But Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus are missing, replaced by a sign reading "ICE WAS HERE" in bold blue letters. "The Holy Family is safe in the Sanctuary of our Church," adds a smaller note inside the Nativity scene, which is protected by a plastic shield. "If you see ICE please call LUCE."
San Francisco has more than 34,000 employees, and sometimes some of them get fired. In most cases, the workers are under union contracts, and termination requires some sort of cause, some sort of a warning system, and some sort of due process: Your boss can't just call you into their office one day and say you're no longer needed. But a small percentage or those workers are called "exempt," which means they can be fired at will.
