Bishop Mark Seitz of El Paso has warned that one in five Catholics in America are at risk of themselves or family members being deported under President Trump’s mass deportation plans.

Seitz made his statement while citing a new report called, “One Part of the Body: The Potential Impact of Deportations on American Christian Families.” The report found that one in 12 Christians in the country “are vulnerable to deportation or could lose at least one family member if the United States government were to deport all of those vulnerable to deportation without any change in law.”
