CWN Editor's Note: The Mexican bishops’ conference has expressed prayerful solidarity with migrants and deportees and pledged to strive to assist them.
“In the midst of a harsh winter, many people and families on the move are experiencing moments of anguish, pain, fear and uncertainty in the face of the actions of the federal government of the United States related to migration,” stated the secretary-general of the episcopal conference, along with the bishop responsible for the pastoral care of migrants.
The prelates expressed “our solidarity, our prayers and our determination to continue serving you.” They also pledged renewed efforts, in shelters and elsewhere, to offer migrants and deportees “shelter and food; support in the care of their physical, emotional and spiritual health; help in contacting their families and obtaining the documentation they need; legal advice and accompaniment.”
