"Authorities are now seizing brothers and sisters indiscriminately, without respect for their right to due process and their dignity as children of God."

Those who have a “genuine fear of immigration enforcement actions, are unable to attend Sunday Mass or Masses on holy days of obligation” do not have to attend Mass. 

- Bishop Alberto Rojas, Diocese of San Bernardino
