I’m a Christian and believe strongly in the teaching of Jesus that states, “Whatever we do to the least of these, we do to God.”

Holding true to this teaching, that means our country has become a people that will tear God away from families in the middle of the night, that will round up God in unmarked vans and will ship God off to be tortured in foreign concentration camps. We will deny God any due process and hold the Holy One back, even in defiance of court orders. For this is what we are doing to our neighbors.

Fellow Christians who wish to practice the resurrection spirit of Easter must demand the return of Kilmar Ábrego García. We must demand that the U.S. refuse to send any more people to foreign prisons. We need to welcome and care for all those who have been sent away. We need to embrace the spirit of welcoming strangers and neighbors alike. No one deserves to be sent to a concentration camp.

Let us show the world that the USA can stand for love and acceptance. Let us treat one another with dignity. If our elected officials refuse to listen, then let us show them our determination in the streets. We must repent. We must free the captives and welcome all those in need.
