Independent Catholic News: USCCB condemns the administration’s plan of mass deportations
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops published a statement, which read: "We recognize the right of nations to control their borders in a just and proportionate manner. However, broad enforcement actions instigate panic in our communities and will not serve as an effective deterrent to irregular migration. Instead, we should focus on the root causes in Central America that have compelled so many to leave their homes in search of safety and reform our immigration system with a view toward justice and the common good."
