ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What is the Mormon Church doing about mass deportation and family separation? Immigrant Mormons have asked for housing assistance, help finding work, sanctuary, and leaders willing to defend them publicly.
We compare Mormon immigration policy with Catholic, Episcopal, and Southern Baptist responses, examine what immigrant members told The Salt Lake Tribune, and revisit the church’s earlier opposition to enforcement-only immigration laws. In Idaho, a divided membership didn’t stop the church from opposing an abortion ballot measure with a letter and $1 million. What’s stopping it here?
