Gov. Phil Murphy on Thursday rushed to a church that has provided sanctuary for immigrants after two Indonesians were arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and a third sought refuge in the church.

Gunawan Liem, of Franklin Park, and Roby Sanger, of Metuchen, were detained as they dropped their kids off at school Thursday morning, said Rev. Seth Kaper-Dale of the Reformed Church of Highland Park.

At the church, which has been housing immigrants for years, the governor met with others who have taken up sanctuary there, including one who avoided detention by not answering his door.

"We obviously have to put our heads together and figure this out," Murphy told a crowd gathered at the church.

"It's not our country, it's not our values, it's not the country you came to to escape persecution," he later said.
