Report: LA religious leaders create network to hide immigrants
Report: LA religious leaders create network to hide immigrants
02/23/17 07:04 PM EST
Religious leaders in Los Angeles are forming an underground network of homes as part of an effort to provide shelter for families facing deportation, CNN reported Thursday.
According to CNN, the Rapid Response Team network could shelter hundreds and potentially thousands of undocumented immigrants across Southern California.
"That's what we need to do as a community to keep families together," said Pastor Ada Valiente, after showing CNN a house that is ready to host three families.
Similar services for immigrant families are already being provided by numerous churches and religious buildings in the area.According to CNN, this Rapid Response Team seeks to go beyond the existing measures.
Another participant who did not want to be identified told CNN he will do everything in his power to protect his guests if immigration authorities come knocking on his door.
"I definitely won't let them in. That's our legal right," he said. "If they have a warrant, then they can come in. I can imagine that could be scary, but I feel the consequences of being passive in this moment is a little scary."
Under President Obama, the authority of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials was limited at various religious locations.
Members of the new underground network have voiced skepticism that the policy will last under President Trump.
This week, the new administration presented a plan to increase domestic deportations, expanding those who may be targeted by ICE.
