• Archbishop Hebda Says No ICE Enforcement Expected At Christmas Masses (patch.com) — St. Paul’s Archbishop Bernard Hebda is reassuring immigrant families that federal immigration officials have told the Archdiocese they do not plan enforcement actions at churches or K-12 schools during Christmas. His message, centered on the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, urges residents to reject fear, see the humanity of immigrants and law enforcement alike, and feel welcome at Christmas Masses despite recent concerns about immigration raids affecting Minnesota families.
