When immigrant communities face sweeping deportation efforts— How do we faithfully support our immigrant neighbors?
About this Event

In a time of deep polarization — when immigrant communities face sweeping detention and deportation efforts, and Congress remains unable to fix an outdated immigration system — many Christians feel both burdened and uncertain. How do we faithfully support and advocate for our immigrant neighbors in such a moment?

For faith communities in places like Minneapolis, MN, and Springfield, OH, this tension is not abstract — it has become deeply personal. When their neighborhoods were directly targeted by ICE operations, churches were forced to respond in real time, navigating complex questions of faith, justice and public witness.

What can we learn from their example?

How do we hold together a respect for the rule of law with a commitment to stand with vulnerable people?

How can we reflect the love of God without being pulled into partisan divides?
