US EditionUS Catholic bishops decry Trump's immigration raids upending church life
- U.S. Catholic bishops and nuns decried the Trump administration's immigration raids in a Thursday panel at Georgetown University.

- Gomez highlighted that many individuals feel frightened to leave their residences, while Seitz emphasized that prayer should inspire us to take meaningful action.
- The panel highlighted immigrant contributions and expressed hope for reform, while also warning that current policies risk increasing crime by deterring immigrant cooperation with law enforcement.
