ICE has begun raiding immigrant homes across the country, separating countless more families in the process. According to a USA Today headline, "The goal is to terrorize."
The Trump-ordered raids were set to take place weeks ago, but were postponed after a public outcry. Now they're back on.
These ICE raids are tearing families apart and terrifying entire communities -- all under moral cover from the religious right.
James Dobson claims that asylum seekers are "illiterate" and sometimes "violent." Pastor Robert Jeffress says "Heaven itself is gonna have a wall." Even Franklin Graham looks the other way, claiming that helping refugees is somehow "not a Bible issue."
Right now, most journalists act as if Graham and Dobson speak for all Christians. That's why your voice is so badly needed -- protesting the ICE raids to remind both the administration and the media that Christians welcome the stranger just as we would welcome Jesus.
