HUGE NEWS: Thanks to Captain Mark Kelly’s intervention and leadership, Annie Ramos, the newlywed wife of U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Matthew Blank, has been RELEASED from ICE custody.

ICE had previously taken Ramos from the Louisiana army base where the couple planned to live, and where Blank had been training for deployment. After hearing about this, Senator Kelly contacted the Department of Homeland Security, speaking directly with Secretary Markwayne Mullin to push for Ramos’s release.

The next day, Ramos was in her husband’s arms in a warm embrace.

Senator Kelly, America thanks you for your leadership 🇺🇸

Good people of Manitowoc and beyond. Grace and peace to you.

After the tragic and continued news out of Minneapolis, MN - our faith communities are sponsoring a Prayer Vigil at 6:12pm tomorrow, Sunday, January 25th. (612 is the dominant Minneapolis area code).

We will begin at First Lutheran Church (521 N. 8th) and walk by candlelight (phone/flashlight) to Maritime Park. Once there we will hear the Christmas story from the gospel of Luke to announce God’s presence with us in our pain.

Come, pray, and join in lamenting these realities we are living through today. (Dress warmly)
