Chicago Catholics Confront ICE to Protect Migrants' Dignity

Chicago Catholics are working to protect the human dignity and religious rights of migrants amid federal immigration enforcement operations and protests.

"Keeping the country safe and being mindful of human dignity are not mutually exclusive. In fact, one cannot exist without the other" - Cardinal Cupich of Chicago
