Sanctuary churches, cities may face legal consequences
Pilgrim–St. Luke’s United Church of Christ in Buffalo, New York, consulted lawyers before deciding to join the sanctuary movement and offer shelter to undocumented people. When it came time for the vote in the congregation of about 110 people, it was unanimous.
“No one blinked,” said Justo Gonzalez II, the church’s pastor.
The legality of congregations housing undocumented people to keep them from immigration authorities is unclear.
