Demonstrators blocked the Philadelphia ICE field office garage for about 90 minutes Tuesday morning, and called on more people to disrupt the agency's enforcement in the city.

A crowd of about 30 people gathered outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office at 8th and Cherry streets starting at 8 a.m. No ICE Philly, which organized the protest, said clergy and faith leaders were holding the vigil to keep ICE from "leaving the facility to terrorize our neighbors."

Rev. Hannah Capaldi of the Unitarian Society of Germantown accused ICE of "terrorizing" Philadelphia's immigrant community, and called on more protesters to help block the garage.
