If you were shocked by the images of the Mexican flag flying over an Aurora, Colorado, immigration detention center this weekend, you'll be appalled at an even more disgusting spectacle:
One of the top promoters of the so-called Lights for Liberty nationwide protests by Trump-hating, ICE-bashing radicals was a nonprofit religious organization known as the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service. As a designated "host," LIRS played a key role in publicizing, organizing and participating in demonstrations against President Donald Trump's deportation enforcement actions targeting some 2,000 illegal immigrants and their families who have ignored removal orders or skipped out on court hearings.
Brazen hatred of cops, Border Patrol and ICE agents were on full display at the open borders protests fronted by LIRS and other left-wing groups, including Code Pink, CASA and CAIR. Marchers echoed the "Close the Concentration Camps" rhetoric of Congressional Brat Pack Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.). They carried signs declaring "ICE=Gestapo" and "Free the People, Burn the Camps." It's not just idle rhetoric. Antifa thug Willem Van Spronsen, armed with a rifle and incendiary devices, attempted to set a Tacoma ICE facility on fire on Saturday before being shot dead. He has been hailed as a "hero" and a "martyr" by fellow "progressive" travelers, while sympathetic mainstream reporters and activists look the other way.
The president and CEO of LIRS, Krishanti Vignarajah, is a Sri Lankan refugee and former Michelle Obama policy director who led the Lights for Liberty event in Washington, D.C. She argues that Americans are obligated to open the floodgates at the southern border (since she turned out so great) and vehemently opposes what she calls "militant border enforcement." To these border-sabotaging radicals, of course, any border enforcement is "militant."
LIRS sounds like just the kind of extremist group you'd...

I am a proud member of the LUTHERAN Church Missouri Synod. We are a REAL Lutheran Church. It is an embarrassment that this fake group uses the name “Lutheran” because there is nothing Lutheran about them. They are a left wing political organization. It is easy to spot these fake “churches” as they all belong to the National Council of Churches., with the exception of the Catholic Church.
We left the apostate ELCA shortly after they became the ELCA. We are happily Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, which is very conservative and bible based.
You are one hundred percent correct.
The only items missing were Toyota’s parked on the lawns and chickens running around and toy’s found in other peoples lawn...................................................
I’m also LCMS and am thankful we remain rock solid conservative on every issue. I wish the ELCA “Lutherans” would not refer to themselves as Lutherans.
life long LCMS. My grandfather and son are Lutheran pastors. By the grace of God may it continue to stand strong.
Hang strong, LCMS. The devil is trying to chip away at you and other authentic churches.
” Aren’t these “fine people” the ones who pushed to have the Midwest infested by Somali trash?”
They have an outpost in Greeley, Colorado that imports Muslims.
As I thought!........
Our little LCA Lutheran Church had a Wheaton College graduate as Pastor......He and the church were precious!
Then the ELCA took over......Sad
Bkmrk.
As always.....Michelle Malkin is on it.
Thank you, MM, for your great work.
Stormfront much?
Progressive Democrat much? I can’t recall the last time one freeper smeared another as a “White Nationalist.” You keep good company with Democrats on that one. Are you a Democrat by chance?
There is the obligation to love one’s enemies,
.........................................
However, sometimes there’s an obligation to kill them while you’re loving them.
LIRS is Lutheran the way Westboro Baptist Church is Baptist.
The Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod (LCMS) is still teaching and preaching the Apostolic faith, Sola Fide, Sola Gratia, Sola Scriptura. And it has no ties to the OP's cited immigration scam.
Unfortunately they fit right in the ELCA. Of course there is nothing Lutheran a out the ELCA either.....
The Somalis that ended up in Minnesota are deeply infested with “trash” to which I referred. What was once a decent community — Minneapolis — is now rife with Somali gangs and jihadists, many of whom shuttle back and forth to Somalia to commit acts of terror. This country made a horrible mistake by ever involving itself in Somalia’s civil war in 1992-93, and I will never forgive those who brought those wretched people here to this country.
It's horrendous. ELCA has become like the ECUSA, PCUSA, UMC and RCC — down the SJ universalist political salvation drain. So grateful for the MS.
As well as the WELS and other faithful synods that remain
