How a Catholic nun provides 'radical hospitality' outside Delaney Hall detention center
RNS
May 27, 2026
Sister Susan Francois, a member of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace, has been showing up at Delaney Hall, the immigrant detention facility in Newark, New Jersey, since May 2025. In late May 2026, detainees inside Delaney Hall started a hunger and labor strike, citing inhumane conditions at the Newark, New Jersey immigration detention center. Days later, protests intensified outside its gates. Francois documents her work along the way. This is a day in her life.
“Faith on the Immigration Frontline” is an RNS short-form documentary series about clergy and religious community members putting their faith to work on the front lines of America's immigration crisis. Each episode follows a single subject as they navigate detention, border enforcement and the human stakes of immigration policy — through pastoral care, faith and conscience.
Produced by Fiona Murphy
