EXCLUSIVE: Texas nuns are helping illegal immigrants buy bus tickets to get across the US after they sneaked past the border as Catholic Church resists Trump's immigration crackdown
Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley in McAllen, Texas, are aiding undocumented immigrants by helping them buy bus tickets
The migrants had all been apprehended trying to get into the United States illegally, detained, then been released to attend court at a later date
This 'catch and release' system was condemned as 'stupid' by President Donald Trump on Tuesday as he strives for tougher immigration policies
Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley got involved in 2014 because they thought it was a humanitarian crisis and Pope Francis commended them in 2015
Nuns give the undocumented immigrants food, a place to sleep and help them purchase bus tickets to get to their final destination in the US
