Diocese of Phoenix: The Illegal Immigration Controversy

-Diocesan Statement on Law Enforcement

The Diocese of Phoenix understands that law enforcement officials are given the mandate to uphold the laws of the state and nation.
The respect and dignity of every human being is a fundamental teaching of our Catholic faith.  We ask that local law enforcement act in a manner that respects the human person and does not target any specific ethnic community.
During the Easter season, we pray and hope for a peaceful resolution of the present crisis.
