It’s a trap the illegals will never figure out. Citizens in the congregation want the illegals gone too

Many illegal aliens go to church. too. They’re not all bad people, but they need to go back to their home country and clean it up there.

There are churches whose members are mainly immigrants, legal and illegal.

If they are going to aid and abet a criminal then they should lose their non profit status.

Really wish this operation would have gone active before it was announced to the press. Police and FBI never announce ahead of time...

Any church that aids and abets these criminals should immediately and retroactively have their tax exempt status revoked and the pastors/priests be audited by the IRS.

These left-wing activist “churches” should also have to pay taxes on their church-owned real estate.

Get some skin in the game.

These churches should teach the scriptures. Perhaps this one:

1 Peter 2:13 - Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake, whether to the king as supreme, . .

"They’re not all bad people,"

Until I can break federal laws, without fear, YES! they are ALL BAD PEOPLE!

The Feds are not in the habit of mercy. You err, you pay. Ask anyone who has failed to pay his taxes, as and when demanded. Millions, at Democrat invitation, no less, have invaded our country. That act defines them.

Remember when they said Trump obstructed justice just by firing a slimy leaker. We are going to need more prisons for all the people obstructing justice when it comes to illegal aliens. I think you should start with the churches. Lock up every pastor and church member who obstructs the illegal alien raids. Then move on to mayors and police chiefs
