pressherald Rufino Beca, a 59-year-old man who moved to the United States from Angola in 2017, was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Portland last week. Moments before his apprehension, he was helping another member of his congregation who is being held in immigration custody in Arizona. In the days since Rufino Beca was detained by immigration agents, congregants have still been flocking to his house. His Windham home is like an extension of the church community he has built, said his daughter, 25-year-old Eliana Beca. Members look to Rufino Beca for advice and rely on his open-door policy. He regularly cares for children who need a father figure and is always willing to help others, she said. Story by Morgan Womack with photo by Brianna Soukup.
