Historically in the US, liberals being more secular is something of an aberration. It was more often the opposite right up until the televangelist era. Remembering the Confederacy as more churchgoing, for example, is total back projection. (see: John Brown, Battle Hymn, Lincoln's bible-quoting, etc)

The US Conference of Catholic Bishops has issued a statement admonishing the Trump administration’s immigration actions.
The last time they issued such a statement was in 2013 in response to contraception mandates.

Wilson took a 1,976-vote lead over Bruce Harrell. With a maximum of 1,320 ballots remaining, it is mathematically impossible for Harrell to catch up.

This happened under the Biden admin, before people jump to conclusions. Great story, give it a read.
NEW: DHS secretly obtained Chicago police data on 900 residents accused of gang ties. It was quietly deleted after intelligence officers violated rules against domestic spying.
The handoff came well after city inspectors formally announced CPD's gang data was deeply flawed and infected w/ bias.

DHS Kept Chicago Police Records for Months in Violation of Domestic Espionage Rules
The Department of Homeland Security collected data on Chicago residents accused of gang ties to test if police files could feed an FBI watchlist. Months passed before anyone noticed it wasn’t deleted.

6. Until we have communal confidence that permanently suspended people actually received detailed and ideally actionable reports on what happened (appeal processes should exist), it's going to keep feeling bad.
