The article discusses the backlash against the Trump administration's immigration policies, particularly those allowing raids in churches and schools. Key religious figures, including Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio and Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, strongly criticize provisions in Trump's executive orders as harmful to vulnerable populations. The Episcopal Church plans to protect immigrants and oppose mass deportations. Trump received criticism from Pope Francis for his mass deportation strategy, even as significant support for him exists among white evangelical and Catholic voters.
Provisions within Trump's executive orders "are deeply troubling and will have negative consequences, many of which will harm the most vulnerable among us," said Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio.
The Episcopal Church denounced Trump's family separation policy, and said it will "continue to provide practical pathways to protect the most vulnerable among us."
The people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings... the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals," emphasized Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde.
Pope Francis, while congratulating Trump on his inauguration, called his mass deportation plans "a disgrace."
