Symbolic tombstones placed at Broadview detention center for immigrant rights vigil

Original: Symbolic tombstones line Broadview detention center lawn for immigrant rights vigil in Illinois

Protesters in Broadview, Illinois, lined the lawn of the local immigration detention center with symbolic tombstones as part of a vigil for immigrant rights. The display was intended to honor migrants who have died or suffered in custody and detention-related circumstances, and to press for more humane immigration enforcement policies in the United States.

Why now: Ongoing public anger over US immigration detention conditions has prompted renewed vigils and memorial displays outside facilities.
