Dedham church keeps anti-ICE nativity scene, defying diocese leaders

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."
