33. Bravo to these faith leaders
Sun Nov 16, 2025, 04:03 PM

I've been asking months on end: Where are the legitimate faith leaders, those who still follow a code of morality, love and forgiveness?

Well, now they've arrived. Each photograph like the one above is both infuriating but a powerful reminder of how out of control ICE has become and how antithetical to the Christian message these assaults truly are.

Hattip to this clergyman and all the others of different denominations and faiths who are willing to put their bodies on the line for the sake of others. This is what faith looks like as opposed to the false piety and/or lack of empathy Trumpers embrace.
