deportation free, sanctuary

By Jeff Gammage The Philadelphia Inquirer/TNS PHILADELPHIA - Clive and Oneita Thompson half-stepped, half-danced from the stone steps of a Philadelphia church Monday morning, ending more than two years in sanctuary and walking - free from the threat of deportation - into a cheering community of friends, clergy and supporters. Smiling and pumping their fists, the undocumented Jamaican couple were met by applause, whistles, bells, tambourines, and noisemakers at a socially distanced celebration outside the Tabernacle United Church in University City. Oneita’s voice caught Monday as she described their time inside church walls, never knowing whether government-ordered removal would separate her and her husband from their seven children, all of whom are citizens or live legally in the United States.
