Religious Leaders Unite to Support Immigrants Amid Increasing Deportation Threats
In the face of escalating immigration policies and the looming threat of mass deportations, faith leaders and churches across various states are stepping up to provide sanctuary and support for asylum seekers and undocumented immigrants. Notably, Cardinal Cupich has expressed opposition to mass deportation plans, urging compassion for migrants, while churches in Detroit and Oregon are preparing to shelter those at risk. Community prayer gatherings and statements from local dioceses reflect a commitment to protect immigrant families despite the challenging landscape created by recent political decisions. As religious leaders debate how best to respond, many are united in their mission to uphold sanctuary and offer refuge in these uncertain times.
