"I feel a huge responsibility as a Christian pastor to say, not in my name,"

Religious leaders frame opposition to certain immigration enforcement practices as a moral necessity grounded in biblical commands to love strangers and practice justice. Several pastors reject Christian nationalist theology as distorted and say their faith compels resistance to state-authorized violence, including actions by ICE.
