LATIN AMERICA #4

church leaders throughout the Twin Cities took a stand in support of undocumented immigrants seeking refuge.It's part of a nationwide trend in response to President-elect Donald Trump's hard-line immigration stance. More than 150 clergy men and women from across Minnesota attended an ISAIAH sanctuary congregation network meeting, held at the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer in St. Paul.Members met to declare their places of worship as sanctuaries.Trump has said several times that he would deport undocumented immigrants. The role of a sanctuary church, therefore, would be to create a sacred space of refuge for immigrant individuals and their families who are in immediate danger of deportation.The sanctuary churches would have individuals residing in their place of worship for an undetermined amount of time, while the community of Sanctuary works on the stay of removal orders for each person residing in the space or until those individuals can safely arrive to another place of sanctuary.Pastor James Erlandson of the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer says churches have been a place of refuge for those in need for quite some time now."This is to be a community of love hospitality and fellowship for those living in our care," Erlandson said. "The only parameters set to declare your place of worship as sanctuaries is to make it very public. All other guidelines are at the discretion of individual churches and their congregants."Each sanctuary church must provide a private space for a person or people to live in 24/7, washing facilities, kitchen or food preparation facilities and accessibility for family visitations.JaNaè Bates, United Church of Christ Minster communications director for ISAIAH, says the community is also supporting the trend of sanctuary churches."Undocumented immigrants should not live in fear," she said. "These people are our friends, neighbors, coworkers and family."There are currently 20 additional churches in various stages of deciding to be either sanctuary or sanctuary supporting.Church leaders are not alone in their stance.Minneapolis and St. Paul, as well as a number of other Minnesota communities, are now known as "sanctuary cities," meaning the city would prevent local police from enforcing federal immigration laws. Just recently, city of Northfield officials announced they are considering becoming a sanctuary city for undocumented immigrants. They'll vote later this month.However, Trump has said if authorities in sanctuary cities do not help with the deportation of illegal immigrants, he will cut federal law enforcement aid.This could mean city police departments would lose a significant amount of money.Rep. John Culberson from Texas has chimed in, proposing a policy with the Department of Justice to make sure cities comply. The policy would force sanctuary cities nationwide to owe a refund of every dollar from federal grant programs over the last 10 years.
