NORTHAMPTON — About 400 people attended an interfaith service inside the Edwards Church on Sunday afternoon to remember and honor people who were detained in Massachusetts by immigration officials. Many more could not get into the service because of the overflow crowd.
Ahead of the event, Bill Toller of the Western Massachusetts JustFaith community said in a statement that attendees of the vigil would stand “in solidarity with our immigrant brothers and sisters who continue to be victims of an unjust and cruel system of deportation and unlawful arrests.”
