As the Trump administration steps up immigration enforcement actions throughout the country, U.S. bishops are raising their voices in solidarity with unauthorized immigrants who are being arrested “on the basis of immigration status alone” and sending the message that “enforcement alone” cannot be the solution to addressing the nation’s immigration challenges.
Speaking on behalf of his fellow bishops, U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops president Archbishop Timothy Broglio stated that “law enforcement actions aimed at preserving order and ensuring community security are necessary for the common good. However, the current efforts go well beyond those with criminal histories.”
“The mass arrest and removal of our neighbors, friends, and family members on the basis of immigration status alone, particularly in ways that are arbitrary or without due process, represent a profound social crisis before which no person of goodwill can remain silent,” Broglio said.
“On behalf of my brother bishops, I want to assure all of those affected by actions which tear at the fabric of our communities of the solidarity of your pastors,” Broglio continued. “Count on the commitment of all of us to stand with you in this challenging hour.”
At the same time, referencing protests against immigration enforcement in various cities across the country, Broglio insisted that “while protest and dissent can be a legitimate expression of democratic participation, violence is never acceptable.”
The prelate also pushed back against what he said were “unfounded accusations against Catholic service providers, who every day endeavor to provide critical support and care to the most vulnerable,” adding that such accusations “contribute to societal tensions and a growing climate of fear.”
Broglio concluded by calling for “just and humane solutions” to these immigration challenges and pledged the “cooperation and goodwill” of the nation’s bishops toward that end.
