I didn’t make up the story. There are legit sources for it.

According to Fox News:
From Fox News: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/11/23/trumps-battle-against-illegal-immigrant-sanctuary-may-end-at-church-steps.html
“Hundreds of houses of worship around the nation have pledged to provide safe harbor to illegal immigrants facing deportation, as have cities such as Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and New York City. While Trump may relish a policy and funding fight with the leaders of Democratic strongholds, imposing his administration’s will on churches could be another matter.
“‘There is a long tradition in American law enforcement of not breaking into churches in order to arrest someone unless the person is wanted for an act of violence,’ Fox News Senior Judicial Analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano told FoxNews.com. ‘In order for the police or for Immigration and Customs Enforcement to enter a church against the will of a priest or minister who is running the church, they need an arrest warrant for a specific human being –short of that, they’re not going to go in there.’
“In New York City alone, there are 11 congregations that offer sanctuary for illegal immigrants, and according to the Rev. Donna Schaper, senior minister of Judson Memorial Church, more could follow.
“‘There has been a tremendous increase in interest since the election,” Schaper told FoxNews.com. “The newly elected president is threatening to deport many of them and they want to be safe—churches have a moral mandate to help people in a way that is different than cities in general.’
“Schaper is a founder of New Sanctuary Movement New York, an interfaith network of congregations that help to provide spiritual, financial, emotional and legal support to illegal immigrants. In some cases, those under the church’s protection move into the building and live there indefinitely.”
In Philadelphia, the New Santuary Movement has seen requests to sign up spike in recent days – specifically, since the election.
I didn’t make up the story. There are legit sources for it. And I simply asked some Methodists that I know if they’d heard of it, what they thought of it, and what they would do if their church did it.
Great. So here’s how things work on FR:
You find a story of interest in a legitimate news channel and post the link to THAT STORY here, not your blogified version of it.
Many of us don’t take kindly to blog-pimping. It serves no purpose, adds no value, and in some views, takes advantage of the free (unless you donate as you should) service provided by the owner of FR.
