A recent post by Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service (LIRS) writes, "On Sunday, a holy day of prayer and worship, ICE plans to conduct nationwide sweeps to arrest thousands of undocumented immigrant families -- targeting the same Strangers that scripture tells us to welcome as our own. Find out how cities are responding to the administration's plans to detain and deport the families who are so vital to the fabric of our communities."
Another recent post by LIRS talks about an illegal immigrant who "faces deportation at the hands of ICE..."
LIRS even sent out a "MASSIVE DEPORTATION ALERT" about "large-scale ICE raids..."
These "raids" are aimed at people who are not obeying the United States justice system. "U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement plans to conduct nationwide sweeps to arrest thousands of undocumented immigrant families that the government says have missed a court appearance or have been issued court-ordered removals from the country." (See here)
Why is the ELCA closely working with this organization? Well, look what the ELCA itself is doing in response the ICE initiatives here.
