Joining other churches in the Atlanta area, the Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church (IHM) and the Episcopal Church of the Epiphany (ECE) published rebukes of President Donald Trump’s immigration policies last week.

The IHM statement from Msgr. Albert Jowdy, also known as Father Al, states that the “the separation of immigrant children from their parents is countenanced, much less embraced, by anyone in our nation demonstrates how far we have fallen in common decency and respect for the human person.”
