Two American cardinals and the Vatican’s ambassador to the U.S. denounced the mass deportations in Minnesota under the federal government’s immigration crackdown. They also urged everyone to repair strained relations and work together toward humane solutions. Cardinals Robert McElroy of Washington, Joseph Tobin of Newark, New Jersey, and Christophe Pierre, the apostolic nuncio to the United States, joined the archbishop of St. Paul and Minneapolis as the Twin Cities still reel from an intense immigration crackdown. McElroy called mass deportation contrary to human dignity, but he and the other clergy said the priority is healing for all those affected.
