Xenophobia and antisemitism are intimately interwoven.

Sometimes that's true in subtle ways and sometimes in obvious ones.

'Betrayal': Christian Leader Slams DHS For Using Bible Verses To Promote ICE Tactics "That is a terrible betrayal of the faith," Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush, an ordained Baptist minister, said about the Trump administration's messaging.

“The Greater Than campaign is Nothing Less than rebranded, old-school, fundamentalist hate. It belongs in the trash heap of history, and the majority of religious Americans who believe in human dignity will make sure it stays there." -Reverend @raushenbush.bsky.social

Thank you. That means the world to us.

Participants in this particular effort include Faith in Action, Interfaith Alliance, Kairos Center and others.

FWIW, if you want to learn more about those groups — how they emerged, their leaders, etc. — I did write a book that discusses it. harpercollins.com/products/american-prophets-jack-jenkins

For the Love of God, Get ICE Out of Minnesota Standing in community with fellow faith leaders, I felt in my bones the contagious courage in the face of ICE’s intimidation, contempt, and deadly violence.

"It is time for people of faith and for all Americans to choose love and solidarity over ICE’s brutality. And, for the love of God, it is time for ICE to get out of Minnesota and all our communities." -Reverend @raushenbush.bsky.social in @contrariannews.org

Interfaith Alliance Condemns New Brutal ICE Killing In Minnesota, Urges All Faith Communities to Mobilize Against ICE On Saturday in Minneapolis, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents brutally attacked and then shot to death Alex Pretti, a registered nurse who appeared to be filming the agents and coming t...

We are outraged and heartbroken that another innocent person has been brutally gunned down by ICE in the streets of Minneapolis, simply because he tried to help his neighbors and to bravely stand against oppression perpetrated by ICE in the community.

Hundreds of clergy descend on Minneapolis and go on lookout for ICE MINNEAPOLIS (RNS) — The faith leaders, who hail from across the country and represent a range of religious traditions, deployed to neighborhoods with significant immigrant populations, where DHS agent...

“Join us in sending a message to all our elected officials that no agency should have license to arbitrarily arrest and detain people without due process.

...In our varied and united faith traditions, love of neighbor is not optional.” -Bishop Mariann Budde, Episcopal bishop of Washington

Here in Minneapolis, hundreds of clergy from all over the country have been deployed into the streets to participate in ICE/DHS watch.

The hail from a range of religious traditions, and have come from all over.

This particular group is in a heavily immigrant neighborhood.

Bishop Mariann Budde speaks with faith leaders in Minneapolis.

A year after her sermon to Trump asking him to “have mercy” on immigrants and other groups, Bishop Mariann Budde, the Episcopal bishop of Washington, is speaking against ICE alongside other faith leaders in MN.

Says: “In our varied and united faith traditions, love of neighbor is not optional.”

Clergy are raising holy hell about ICE Standing outside House Speaker Mike Johnson’s office, one pastor said, “The blood of Renée Good is on his hands.”

We choose love, not ICE!

One Year of The Trump Administration’s Attacks on Faith Communities and Abuse of Religion Over its first year, the Trump administration has weaponized religion to advance a white Christian nationalist agenda, attacking faith leaders, houses of worship, immigrants, and religious minorities ...

Trump said God would be "very proud" of his first year back in office and touted himself as a champion of religion and America's faith communities.

We've got the receipts to prove otherwise:

No, God would not be “proud” of Trump’s work.

And no, Trump has not been good for religion.
