In this episode of Straight White American Jesus, we discuss the recent escalation in ICE raids across the country, including arrests at sensitive locations like churches, schools, and hospitals, following the Trump administration’s revocation of the sensitive locations policy. We explore the history and significance of the sanctuary movement, in which churches provided refuge to undocumented immigrants starting in the 1980s, and how these protections are now at risk. To deepen the discussion, we feature the final episode of Sanctuary: On the Border Between Church and State, a seven-part podcast series by Dr. Sergio Gonzalez (Marquette University) and Dr. Lloyd Barba (Amherst College). The series provides a comprehensive history of the sanctuary movement and its implications for today. For those interested in the intersection of immigration, religion, and U.S. policy, this episode is a must-listen.
