5. Many Christian churches are doing something

Our church in a rural town in CentralTexas has signs declaring our property private, and that it will take a judicial signed warrant before we permit IC on our premises. We have added information to our website missions area about no Your Rights for immigrants and we printed up some of the red cards to distribute.

Our Bishop, Cynthia Harvey, has called on all United Methodist churches in the Texas and Rio Grande conferences to minister to immigrants. We would’ve done it without that call, because scripture demands that we treat immigrants as ourselves.

The Trump administration has done more to interfere with the rights of people of faith to practice their religion according to their conscience than any previous administration.

We are one of many denominations that are suing the government because of that.

That particular churches nativity display is terrific.
