Thank you to the Angelus team for your sensitive coverage of our recent immigration turmoil here in Los Angeles.

The way in which ICE has been conducting immigration raids is truly stomach-turning. It is clear that the goal is to create fear, divide our communities, and pander to political extremists.

I know that immigration is not always a black-and-white issue, and that there are legal problems that need to be addressed. But I was consoled to read your reporting in the June 27 issue on the steps priests are taking to make Catholics feel safer and advocate for immigrants. I don’t hear about that anywhere else.
