Faith Leaders Call on White House and Homeland Security to Stop Deportations

Deportations-1919-600Faith leaders are calling on President Obama and the Department of Homeland Security to put an immediate halt to the raids on Central American families that have led to the arrest of more than 100 individuals. Federal immigration enforcement agents began arresting immigrants in Georgia, Texas, North Carolina, and other states. Officials said the arrests were made against migrants who had lost their asylum cases and were ordered deported by immigration judges. Religious leaders say families should not be separated by deportations.
