An audible gasp came first. Then tears, as Robles' family received news that Jose had been detained.

For over a year, Jose Robles has spent his days in sanctuary at Gethsemane Lutheran Church in downtown Seattle.

Robles is an undocumented immigrant. He has a pending U-visa — that's for victims of a crime. But he's been in U.S. for about 20 years.

On Wednesday, he was supposed to check in with immigration officials on his case. If he wanted a chance to stay legally, he had to show up.

Friends, family, and the community knew there was a very real possibility he would be detained or deported.

Despite a constant drizzle, around 100 people walked with him and his family from Riverton Park United Methodist Church to the ICE office in Tukwila, with posters, T-shirts, and banners of support.
