In an unprecedented assault on religious liberty, Trump blocked Catholic bishop from delivering Echarist to ICE detainee



Christopher Hale @chrisjollyhale
In an unprecedented assault on religious liberty, the Trump-Vance Administration blocked a Catholic bishop from delivering the Eucharist to ICE detainees.

It's the second time they've banned Catholic priests from entering ICE facilities in three weeks.




Marissa Sulek @marissa_sulek
A group of religious leaders and others have made their way to the Broadview ICE facility to try and give communion to the detainees inside.

They came from St. Eulalia Church about a mile east where remarks were first made, some by Senator Dick Durbin. @cbschicago

While they are always anxious to let bigots exercise their religious 'rights' when it means trampling the liberties of gays, don't expect them to stand up for the rights of brown Catholics.

Coming on the heels (pun intended) of the Jewish hating Nick Fuentes interview, the GOP has increased its hostility to religious freedom.

Kick too.
