The group, organized by People Acting in Community Together, or PACT, wants the council to pass a resolution that limits the city's cooperation with ICE and gives peace of mind to the immigrant community.
Attendees held signs and candles while a priest and pastor lead the group in prayers. They also sang "Imagine" by John Lennon.
