RNS Morning Report - VIDEO: This Christian mom is recording ICE arrests

VIDEO: Inside a Christian mother’s fight against ICE activity in Chicago   Christian mother of eight Audrey Luhmann and her family have volunteered in a network tracking and documenting federal immigration officers’ actions since the Trump administration launched a mass deportation campaign in September 2025.   RNS National and Multimedia Reporter Fiona Murphy travelled to Chicago to show you Luhmann’s faith and activism up close.   In between documenting what she describes as “anything illegal” she and her family see during enforcement actions, including arrests without a judicial warrant, use of force and traffic violations, Luhmann also collects food, clothing and other supplies for immigrant families and people released from detention.   Her two teenage sons, Ben and Sam, often help.   “They are actually doing everything that I’ve taught them,” Luhmann said. “I’ve spent my entire life telling them that Jesus was with those who were oppressed, that Jesus was with those who the rest of the world pushed away.”         Top Stories Inside a Christian mother’s fight against ICE activity in Chicago (RNS) — The second episode of ‘Faith on the Immigration Frontline' follows Audrey Luhmann, mother of eight, as she patrols courthouses, responds to community alerts, gathers supplies for immigrants and cares for her family.
