Or maybe too many have self deported to keep the doors open.

[cyclotic]

Maybe Catholics should stop encouraging illegal behavior.

[Preachin']

I bet they are afraid of being followed home after mass.

[tennmountainman]

Good. Should jail those who sheltered them.

After more than 100 years, a Roman Catholic church in Detroit is closing, partly because Hispanics illegals who worship there fear immigration agents.

Legal Hispanics have nothing to worry about, I presume, unless they participate in harboring illegals.

After more than 100 years, a Roman Catholic church in Detroit is closing, partly because Hispanics who worship there fear immigration agents.

Citizens and legal residents, regardless of ethnicity, usually have no fear of immigration agents. Golly, could it be that a significant number of the congregants are neither citizens nor legal residents of the USA?

The congregation of 300 families will be encouraged to attend St. Gabriel, a nearby church.

ICE, over here ^

[109ACS]

As Billy Bob Clinton is so fond of saying ‘You better get some ICE for that.’

[Reno89519]

Lets see... if they are legal citizens and residents, no problem. If not, yes, they should fear going anywhere. Self-deport, go home. Shame that Catholic church promotes illegal behavior, gives protection to illegal aliens, undermines the U.S., and then tries to even shame us for wanting respect for our country.

[raybbr]

Mass in spanish, huh? How about English? Perhaps they wouldn’t have to close.

[CottonBall]

Excellent! TY President Trump! Being afraid of ICE raids and hiding in the shadows is exactly how it should be. (Right before being deported). And since the Catholics love illegals so much, let them all live in the Vatican. ‘Catholic Charities’ Have been getting rich off the taxpayers and been encouraging the destruction of this country for far too long.

We’ve seen many hispanics not attending church services here in NW Arkansas (all denominations) supposedly due to fear of ICE and immigration enforcement.

And this is all out of sheer ignorance and blatant scare tactics by the radically-Left sanctuary city type Marxists. They have intentionally (with the help of major media) scared the crap out of Hispanics. ICE has not, nor have they ever, used churches to find and arrest/deport illegals. Yet the LEFT loves scare tactics - and its working.

[tumblindice]

“fear of ICE”
Fear of the law. Fear of justice finally catching up with them. Fear of us, finally, after a quarter-century of skating.

The illegals won’t make bogeymen out of federal LEOs actually trying to do their jobs, to enforce the law.
ICE isn’t the FBI, IRS or CIA.
ICE has actual fidelity, integrity and courage, after serving for decades as a whipping boy for the open borders Uniparty scofflaws.

Pure b.s. propaganda, courtesy of the Mediascum.

As with many demographically transformed neighborhoods, the church has probably been bereft of its traditional sources of donations and attendance for a long time. A lot of churches shut down when they can no longer sustain themselves.

[Moonman62]

The real reason is the Catholics are harboring illegal aliens.

[Phil DiBasquette]

Thou shalt not steal...so parasites and churches who shield them,
why do you condone stealing from taxpayers?

[PAR35]

So are they so stupid they think that La Migra can find them at All Saints but not at St. Gabriel? Or do they think we are so stupid that we will buy the Papist lies?
