Christopher Hale(@ChristopherHale):NEW: A Catholic nun pressed Vice President JD Vance on Saturday to justify ICE’s conduct to people of faith at a CBS News town hall in Michigan. Sister Nancy Sylvester asked how the behavior of ICE agents “can constantly be justified in terms of the kind of values we want to live by.” Vance never answered. She is the latest Catholic sister to challenge him on immigration. Last fall, ICE turned away Sister JoAnn Persch, 91, when she tried to bring the Eucharist to detainees outside Chicago. She died two weeks later.
