Why does it seem that so many “faith” leaders seem to take the view of lawlessness and Leftism? Faith leaders gather in Raleigh in opposition of immigration bill aimed at state agencies Clergy and faith leaders gathered Saturday at Halifax Mall in downtown Raleigh for a prayer vigil for law enforcement and immigrant communities affected by a new law aimed at cracking down on undocumented immigrants in North Carolina. With voices lifted and heads bowed, the event was a show of support from faith leaders for those affected by Senate Bill 153, a law that requires state agencies, including the State Highway Patrol, to cooperate with ICE. All 153 does is require key state law enforcement agencies, the State Highway Patrol, Department of Public Safety, Department of Adult Correction, and State Bureau of Investigation, to enter into formal 287(g) agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. “When immigrant populations are not going to go to law enforcement now to report crimes because they’re afraid that they’re going to be taken away, we’re all less safe for that,” Showalter said.
