When politicians confuse religion and politics, in order to cover up and justify their corrupt misdeeds and neglect of the common good.
🚨 JUST IN: Mike Johnson is dropping TRUTH NUKES right now on the floor. "See, we are the first nation in the history of the world that acknowledged our rights do not derive from government, they come from God." "You see those words up there? It says, 'In God we trust.'"…
Catholic and Southern Baptist leaders together -- @BishopSeitz and @KenyFelix2 -- tell Senate to 'exercise moral courage' and scrap the enforcement only approach in the reconciliation bill. newsweek.com/were-faith-lea…
The border has become a testing ground for cruelty—but our communities are not silent. As asylum is denied and impunity grows, people of faith, shelters, and everyday neighbors are stepping up. More on this week’s #FronteraDispatch. mailchi.mp/hopeborder.org…
Inspired by Bishop Pham in San Diego, Bishop Tony Celino of El Paso, an immigrant Filipino auxiliary bishop, joins local clergy and @hopeborder organizer Aimee Santillan and heads to court to stand with families being unjustly taken by ICE after cases are dismissed.
Crucial border stories in this week's #FronteraDispatch on tragic migrant deaths, due process, third-country agreements and faith voices against the reconciliation bill. Also, thrilled to exhibit the powerful art of border artist Laila Guadalupe Espinoza in our "El Rinconcito."
Protests against immigration enforcement overreach and due process violations represent a moral awakening. We must continue demanding accountability and reform—read more on this week’s fully bilingual #FronteraDispatch mailchi.mp/hopeborder.org…

The Hope Border Institute and Derechos Humanos Integrales en Acción AC distributed more than you can imagine to asylum seekers stranded at the U.S.-Mexico border. They received credit at a local market where a little goes a long way! @BishopSeitz
"This living vein of compassion is a reality, a historical reality, a living example of Christian praxis." @BishopSeitz on immigration & the Catholic Church at this moment: commonwealmagazine.org/living-vein-co…
Trump’s funding bill has passed–and with it, billions for detention, deportation and border militarization. But our response isn’t written in that bill. As people of faith and conscience, we believe another way is possible. #FronteraDispatch. mailchi.mp/hopeborder.org…
Fallout from the reconciliation bill will be generational -- an exploding border security industrial complex and crimmigration police state, and a gouging of social structures and bonds that unite communities. We need new moral leadership now to arrest the terminal dehydration.
NEW: Cardinal McElroy of Washington DC describes the rounding up & deportation of immigrants as "inhumane" and "morally repugnant". In an interview with @CNN the cardinal discussed Trump's megabill, the role of women in the church & Iran. edition.cnn.com/2025/07/03/ame…
Our Executive Director @DylanCorbett23 on yesterday's passage of the reconciliation bill: 'It’s the last piece in the groundwork for mass deportations', Corbett said. 'We’re criminalizing our sister and brother immigrants on the backs of the poor.' osvnews.com/analysis-big-b…
With his tie-breaking vote, this Catholic VP seals his legacy. Bankrupt the country, rob from the poor and genuflect to the 1pc ... all to construct a merciless police state to hunt down immigrants.
Everything else—the CBO score, the proper baseline, the minutiae of the Medicaid policy—is immaterial compared to the ICE money and immigration enforcement provisions.
A group of our summer young leaders met today with officials from the City of El Paso, including El Paso's @MayorRenardEPTX and @Cityrepacevedo to discuss essential criminal justice reforms and good policing practices in border communities.
“Seeing individuals who fled persecution on account of their Christian faith be detained by masked officers over the desperate pleas of their pastor is something I never thought I’d see in the United States” @MatthewSoerens @WorldRelief
Via @fiona_ndre: For years, persecuted Christians abroad — including Iranian Christians — has been a cause célèbre on the right, including Trump. But this week, CBP arrested Iranian Christian asylum-seekers as their pastor looked on, despondent. religionnews.com/2025/06/27/pas…
With major concerns over immigration, border militarization and the poor, 20+ Catholic bishops and archbishops, including Cardinals Tobin and McElroy, and other interfaith leaders ask Senate to ditch the Big Beautiful Reconciliation Bill altogether.
Deep conversation on life, living on the edge of immigration status, real life impacts of humanitarian aid cuts, donuts and holding onto hope today with our @hopeborder young leaders and @CatholicRelief’s Sofia Larkin.
