Via a rare public statement, America's Catholic bishop leadership has released a firm denunciation of the Trump administration's border enforcement measures.
The bishops expressed being troubled by risks to the sacred nature of houses of worship and the protected status of healthcare centers and learning establishments.
Nations must maintain border control while developing equitable, systematic immigration processes that serve public welfare.
Through their statement, the church leaders described what they labeled "a atmosphere of anxiety around questions of discrimination" and immigration policies.
They expressed being disappointed by the present discourse and negative portrayal of foreign nationals, while opposing what they described as "the indiscriminate mass deportation of people."
Religious leaders also voiced serious worries about:
The White House has implemented an aggressive immigration agenda since assuming power, including revoking policies that limited immigration detentions near sensitive locations such as religious institutions, medical facilities and educational centers.
The declaration echoes comparable criticisms made by Pope Leo, who has urged "deep reflection about the way immigrants are being handled in the US under the current administration."
This constitutes the first formal statement of its type in 12 years, highlighting the gravity of the church leaders' worries about current immigration policies.
