Via a infrequent formal message, the national Catholic bishops organization has delivered a sharp criticism of the White House's immigration policies.
The bishops voiced being concerned by risks to the sacred nature of religious sites and the protected status of hospitals and schools.
Countries bear the duty to manage their boundaries and create fair, organized immigration frameworks for the benefit of all.
In their message, the church leaders characterized what they called "a atmosphere of anxiety around questions of profiling" and immigration policies.
They stated being disheartened by the current discussion and vilification of immigrants, while rejecting what they called "the indiscriminate mass deportation of people."
The bishops also raised major apprehensions about:
The White House has pursued an aggressive immigration agenda since assuming power, including rescinding policies that curtailed immigration detentions near sensitive locations such as religious institutions, medical facilities and educational centers.
The declaration mirrors comparable criticisms made by Pope Leo, who has advocated for "serious consideration about the way migrants are being treated in the US under the current administration."
This constitutes the first official declaration of its nature in 12 years, highlighting the gravity of the bishops' concerns about current immigration policies.
