Grateful for the delegation from El Paso that visited with Pope Leo to share messages from migrants in the US. May we as a church speak out against injustice & stand with people in our communities who are living in fear and terror as they continue to be criminalized and targeted
Today, with @BishopSeitz and members of the immigrant community, @HopeBorder met Pope Leo and gave him messages and a video from those fearing Trump’s mass deportations. ‘The church cannot stay silent before injustice. You stand with me. And I stand with you’, the pope said.

Just to be clear, ICE is not just targeting criminals or even people who entered illegally. People like Carlos entered legally and were following the legal process. This new tactic is trying to criminalize, detain, and deport without due process. I call that injustice
