Have You No Shame? NC Police Use Churches to Arrest Undocumented Immigrants

From the “just when you think you’ve seen it all” department:

The pastor of the María, Reina de las Américas parish in Mt. Olive, North Carolina has a majority Latina/o congregation, including many of undocumented immigrants. The church is less than two miles from al slaughterhouse, where many parishioners work. Several months ago, local law enforcement officials set up roadblocks three weekends in a row on the two roads that provide access to the church. Parishioners were stopped and asked to show their driver’s licenses on the way to and from services. Attendance at Mass eventually began to drop as the roadblocks increased in frequency.
