It should be noted that the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) has several “predicate offenses”, any *two* of which are enough to define “racketeering activity”.

One of these is:

“Bringing in, aiding or assisting aliens in illegally entering the country (if the action was for financial gain).”

On the surface, it would appear that these churches could claim that what they were doing was *not* for financial gain. However, if they are receiving outside money to abet them in doing this, it may either expose them to RICO, or almost as good, to losing their non-profit status as churches.

But “obstruction of justice”, such as a criminal conspiracy to prevent the arrest of criminal aliens, is *another* RICO predicate offense.

And, icing on the cake, yet another RICO predicate offense include those statutes against slavery and human trafficking. This is actually different from the other offense of smuggling illegal aliens, because it has to do with the *purpose* of those aliens once in the US. For example, prostitution of women and children. Or if those illegal aliens are being controlled by a “mule”, who will not let them go until their family gives them money.

Church should lose its 503 exemption if they break or obstruct federal law...

Acting in concert and collusion with one another to set up “sanctuaries” for illegal alien invaders, as defined by current Federal laws certainly would apply under RICO.

Additional ties to LaRaza and MeCHa, both of which advocate violent disobedience of laws. Roll them all up and start open House and Senate hearings to investigate the full extent of activities, ties to foreign governments, NGOs, and apply Patriot Act Rendition clause against Soros and his organization. Start with freezing and/or seizure of his funds globally. There are eastern European governments that would hop on the chance knowing they had US backing.
