‘Sanctuary Churches’ Offer Protection To Immigrants Facing Crackdown From Trump
In his first days in office, President Donald Trump began cracking down on illegal immigrants, and even those legally traveling to the U.S. from several predominately-Muslim nations.
His executive order that placed a temporary travel ban on people from seven Muslim nations faced fierce public opposition that manifested in huge protests at airports and other venues across the country. Federal judges have sense blocked the ban.
What has received considerably less attention — although it has still attracted media coverage and inspired protests — is his executive order aimed at “enhancing public safety in the interior of the united states.”
