It's the second time they've banned Catholic priests from entering ICE facilities in three weeks.

A group of religious leaders and others have made their way to the Broadview ICE facility to try and give communion to the detainees inside.
They came from St. Eulalia Church about a mile east where remarks were first made, some by Senator Dick Durbin. @cbschicago
