Some of the highest-ranking U.S. Catholic bishops and nuns on the front lines of America’s immigration conflict gathered in Washington to decry the Trump administration’s hard-line policies. The religious leaders condemned Trump's immigration crackdown, saying its tearing apart families, inciting fear and upending American church life. They shared how they’ve supported immigrants who are wary of taking their children to school, and going to work or church for fear of being detained and deported. A Trump administration move gives immigration officers more leeway to make arrests at houses of worship. It has been challenged in court by faith groups representing millions of Americans.
