Donald Trump's allies in Congress are ramping up their attacks on religious charities that help immigrants. As Christians, we need to speak up now.
Last month, the chairmen of the Committee on Homeland Security -- Rep. Mark Green and Rep. Josh Brecheen -- launched an investigation into more than 200 organizations that provide aid to immigrants and refugees. These nonprofit groups -- including many religious organizations like Catholic Charities, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, and Global Refuge -- received a letter demanding to know if they used "taxpayer dollars to facilitate illegal activity."
While these organizations are not required to respond to the inquiry, Green and Brecheen indicated that the Committee may take unspecified "further measures" if they do not comply.
These organizations have well-established histories of refugee resettlement and serving immigrant communities -- in other words, of welcoming the strangers. As Christians, let's publicly show our support for the important work these charities do -- and have their backs in the face of congressional intimidation tactics.
We can't remain silent while members of Congress try to pressure religious organizations into abandoning immigrants and refugees. Add your name and tell the press and the public that Christians support the work of immigration services.
