Amid ongoing federal immigration enforcement operations and protests in Chicago, Catholic faithful and clergy are working to uphold the human dignity of affected immigrants and protect their rights to worship and receive the sacraments.
"Keeping the country safe and being mindful of human dignity are not mutually exclusive. In fact, one cannot exist without the other,"
said Cardinal Cupich of Chicago in a statement. He decried the "unnecessarily aggressive tactics" of federal agents, which he believes are intended to "terrorize and cause chaos, rather than fulfilling the noble calling of law enforcement."
