A Catholic guide to resisting the ICE crackdown

Crosses and candles are placed at a makeshift memorial in Minneapolis Jan. 28, 2026, at the site where Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care unit nurse was fatally shot by federal agents trying to detain him. In a Jan. 28 statement, Archbishop Paul S. Coakley of Oklahoma City, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, calls for a Holy Hour for peace as a step toward national healing following a trio of recent killings by immigration enforcement personnel.

As the nation veers into policies on war-making and immigration that disturb many, average Catholics are stepping up into activist roles to voice their concerns and assist their neighbors.
