@sacramentourbanmedia916: Florida’s Catholic bishops urged President Donald Trump this week to temporarily suspend immigration enforcement during the Christmas holiday, but the White House indicated that operations will continue without interruption. The request came from Miami Archbishop #ThomasWenski and was endorsed by seven other leaders of the Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops. In his appeal, Wenski said the administration has largely met its goal of securing the border and removing individuals who pose a public safety threat. He argued that the current broad enforcement strategy now risks detaining many immigrants who have no criminal record and are in the U.S. simply to work. Wenski warned that aggressive enforcement has created widespread fear, affecting not only undocumented immigrants but also relatives and community members who are lawfully in the country. He said that anxiety has spread through neighborhoods as families worry about potential arrests during the holiday season. Calling for a humanitarian gesture, Wenski asked federal officials to halt apprehensions and large-scale enforcement actions over Christmas, saying a temporary pause would demonstrate compassion toward affected families. In a brief email response, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson did not address the holiday request and made clear that immigration enforcement would proceed as normal.#fyp #viral
