Chicago Catholics Protect Migrants' Dignity and Rights
Chicago Catholics are working to protect the dignity and religious rights of migrants 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,"
said Cardinal Cupich of Chicago. He criticized the "unnecessarily aggressive tactics" of federal agents, stating that they have overreached and caused chaos.
The cardinal emphasized that law enforcement should not be put in a position to terrorize and cause chaos, but rather fulfill their noble calling.
Catholic faithful and clergy in Chicago are upholding the human dignity of affected immigrants and protecting their rights to worship and receive sacraments.
