EL PASO, Texas (OSV News) — Mass deportations and asylum bans — part of the Trump administration’s rapid changes to U.S. immigration policy — destroy communities and human dignity, while constituting a “war on the poor,” said Bishop Mark J. Seitz of El Paso, Texas.
The bishop — who chairs the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Migration — shared his thoughts during a March 24 prayer vigil at Sacred Heart Church in El Paso, which capped a rally and march that began in the city’s downtown San Jacinto Plaza.
“Aquí Estamos: March and Vigil to Stand with Migrants” drew hundreds of participants, including immigration advocates, Catholic and interfaith clergy, religious and lay faithful.
