Over the weekend, there was anticipation that Immigration and Customs Enforcement throughout North America would be conducting raids on undocumented individuals who've already gone through due process and were scheduled for deportation. Some churches, including those under Cardinal Blase Cupich in Chicago offered sanctuary for many of those individuals and families and wouldn't release them to any U.S. officials unless warrants and IDs were shown. Gus gets listener reaction to this.

Hi, Gus,
Just thought I’d let you know that the Catechism, does in fact, address immigration, (Life of Christ, 2241 & 2242.) The USCCB further clarified their position here in 2013:

Sorry I didn’t have the reference this morning for you.
Peace be yours,
Beth
