“ICE’s godless tactics are a total affront to the gospel of Jesus Christ. It stands in the face of the faith of our ancestors. It mocks the women & men who reared us to love the truth, to stand up for justice, & to never stand by idly while tyrants trample on the dignity and life of our neighbors.”
Pope Leo has condemned ICE more than a dozen times—and wept after hearing migrants describe the terror they endured. Now, after ICE killed a widowed American mother, it’s clear: no Catholic can remain in ICE.
If you have the courage to take the first step, the Church will help you find better work.

I’d be more specific, in fact: we are seeing different FORMS of force shown when ICE is acting in “coming after a presumed immigrant” mode vs “freaking out at any show of resistance or protest” mode.
Neither is more justifiable than the other necessarily.

i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all
