A 100-Mile Pilgrimage To Protest Immigrant Detention

FEATURING REV. JENNIFER GUTIERREZ - In late September, a group of faith leaders, immigrant rights activists, and others, set off on a nearly 100-mile journey by foot from the Adelanto Detention Center in Southern California’s high desert to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Downtown Los Angeles. 

In the searing, record-breaking heat, they walked to draw attention to the relentless violence and violations by federal immigration agents against countless human beings. 

On October 6, the “Clear the Road to Freedom Pilgrimage” culminated in downtown LA and I spoke with Rev Jennifer Gutierrez, one of the walkers during the last leg of the journey.

Rev. Jennifer Gutierrez is an ordained United Methodist minister and has served as Pastor in several Los Angeles churches. She is Executive Director of Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice, or CLUE Justice.
