Clergy and religious continue to speak out against the Trump administration's sweeping changes to immigration policy as large-scale deportation operations ramp up.

Thanks to the vice president, the national press may finally realize that the Catholic bishops care about something other than abortion.

Jesus calls us to care for those in need—regardless of national boundaries.
