Let me respond in partial support ...
Should the Church 'turn in' illegals? I think not.
Should the Church 'turn in' spouse abusers? your answer?
The Church is not an arm of the State, and vice versa.
p.s. researching the history of Sanctuary will not land you in the Bible. It will land you in the doctrine and practice of the RCC in the Middle Ages and beyond. ;-) Remember that acolytes used to be armed guards, not boys in robes. Also, churches were designed to be able to secure the alter from the congregation, in case of attack. The medieval church was not really terribly scriptural in many of it practices.
