Pope Francis’s letter poses an implicit question to the whole church in the United States: Will we subject our political debates on immigration to the scrutiny of the Gospel or not?

Archbishop Broglio, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, thanked Pope Francis and said the bishops join the pontiff in prayer that “families suffering from the sudden withdrawal of aid may find the strength to endure.”

More than two dozen Christian and Jewish groups filed a federal lawsuit to block a Trump policy allowing ICE agents to make arrests in places of worship.

The letter also stated that Francis disagrees with identifying the illegal status of migrants with criminality, and called on the bishops “to walk together” and defend the human dignity of the migrants in their country.

Cardinal Michael Czerny, Pope Francis’ point-man on migration and development, has urged the U.S. administration of President Donald Trump to remember Christian principles about caring for others.

Executive orders recently signed by Trump "are causing confusion both within various agencies and with those who interact with them."

In the face of dangerous nativism and the possibility of state violence through deportation, the church will be challenged to offer a compelling and credible response.

Speaking at a pair of events in Washington surrounding the the National Prayer Breakfast, President Donald Trump announced that he is forming a task force led by Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate the “targeting” of Christians.
