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.

President Donald Trump has threatened sending the National Guard to Portland, Oregon, to quell protests. There have been nightly protests at the city's U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building since June. While disruptive to nearby residents, the demonstrations are a far cry from from the unrest that gripped the city during the racial justice protests of 2020. Recent protests peaked in June, with Portland police declaring one a riot and other smaller clashes since then. Trump deployed the National Guard to Los Angeles over the summer, and as part of his law enforcement takeover in Washington, D.C. He has also recently threatened to send troops to Chicago and Baltimore to combat crime.
