Most of us would move heaven and earth to provide for our loved ones, whether we’re born here or have made America our home and this harmful immigration agenda from President Trump and Governor Lee only serves to spread fear and sow division in communities who are already vulnerable and scared. President Trump's attacks on individual faith leaders and denominational bodies must stop! Millions of people of faith in this country share values of care and concern for the immigrant, for the disenfranchised, and for the ability to offer safe space for those under threat. From our places of worship to our homes to our vehicles, we are sanctuaries!"
