Chicago Catholics Protect Migrants' Dignity and Rights
Chicago Catholics are working to uphold the human dignity of immigrants and protect their religious rights amidst federal immigration enforcement operations and protests.
"Keeping the country safe and being mindful of human dignity are not mutually exclusive. In fact, one cannot exist without the other."
Cardinal Cupich of Chicago criticized the "unnecessarily aggressive tactics" of federal agents, stating that they have overreached and caused terror and chaos.
He emphasized that law enforcement should not be put in a position to compromise human dignity.
Catholic faithful and clergy are trying to ensure that immigrants can worship and receive sacraments without fear.
