U.S. Catholic bishops issued a statement Wednesday raising concerns about the Trump administration's ongoing crackdown and mass deportation of undocumented migrants, delivering a rare public rebuke of the President’s immigration policies.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) issued the rare “Special Message” during its annual gathering, which was held in Baltimore this year, saying they are disturbed about the “climate of fear and anxiety around questions of profiling and immigration enforcement.”
The statement received a near-unanimous approval from the conference, with 216 votes in favor, five against and three abstentions.
