US EditionWhite House Rebuffs Catholic Bishops' Appeal for a Christmas Pause in Immigration Enforcement
Florida's Catholic bishops requested a holiday pause in immigration enforcement to protect families, citing over 500,000 deportations this year, but the White House rejected the appeal.
- Catholic Archbishop Thomas Wenski appealed to President Trump and Gov. DeSantis to halt immigration enforcement over Christmas to allow families to celebrate without fear of arrest or deportation.
- Wenski said the request is to 'hit a pause' and not 'be the Grinch that stole Christmas', arguing that Jesus' teachings were centered on love for outcasts and the poor.
- The bishops noted that the border is secure and dangerous criminals have been removed, but current enforcement has led to deportations of those without criminal backgrounds, sometimes including those with legal status.
