Priests in civil disobedience.

After the Trump administration gave the green light to immigrant detentions in churches, where it was previously considered a sanctuary zone, several priests and religious leaders have called to resist the order by calling for civil disobedience.

Catholic priest Father Joaquin Arriaga, of St. Agnes Mission Church and St. Anthony of Padua Parish in Fresno, CA. explains that they defend immigrants precisely because that is what the Bible says.

The priest who serves a largely immigrant area favors civil disobedience, because he assures that he is consistent in supporting migrants.

He reminds other religious and people of faith that this is the word of God and they should help the immigrants.

Father Arriaga refers that President Trump swore in the bible, but he has an anti-immigrant policy.

Father Joaquin Arriaga says how his church is acting to remain a sanctuary despite the radical measures against immigrants and the green light ICE has to make arrests.

Father Joaquin Arriaga talks about what we can do as a community if ice arrives.

The Catholic priest says not to forget that Trump is the one who currently has legal charges against him.

He makes it clear that we are not illegal, not undocumented, not aliens, let’s listen to America’s unprotected immigrant father.

Finally, Father Arriaga gives a message that can help immigrants protect themselves from ICE.
