Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio of the U.S. military archdiocese, the president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, issued a reflection ahead of the USCCB’s weeklong retreat in California, a triennial gathering that this year replaces the bishops’ usual spring plenary session. While the administration claims to target criminal actors in its sweeps, several high-profile arrests and deportations have impacted individuals with no demonstrated criminal record. “The many actions of protest throughout the country reflect the moral sentiments of many Americans that enforcement alone cannot be the solution to addressing our nation’s immigration challenges,” he said. “While protest and dissent can be a legitimate expression of democratic participation, violence is never acceptable,” Archbishop Broglio stressed. Count on the commitment of all of us to stand with you in this challenging hour,” he said.
