"We are greatly disturbed by your statements on CBS and Fox News that criticized Catholics and other ecumenical Christians seeking to show compassion, mercy and grace to the vulnerable. You claimed that it is Christian to 'love your family and then you love your neighbor.'
You are bearing false witness against Jesus himself who clearly commands us to love our neighbor as ourself, to welcome the stranger, and to lay down our life for our friends.
Even as you spread these lies about who Christians are called to love, President Trump is turning the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba into a mass detention center for migrants reminiscent of the internment camps of WWII.
We will not be silent and obedient while you and President Trump continue to commit atrocities in the name of our faith.
We ask that you do as Jesus commands and show mercy, grace, and compassion to our immigrant neighbors and adopt policies that honor their inherent dignity and humanity.
Thank you."
