A church in Indiana is making headlines after placing a statue of the baby Jesus with Joseph and Mary inside a chain-link cage to protest President Trump’s zero-tolerance immigration policy.
The policy in question was first implemented back in April and refers anyone detained at the U.S.-Mexico border for prosecution. It was expanded in May to include the president’s abusive child separation policy, which forcibly removes children from their families and places them in separate juvenile or “tender age” immigration prisons while their parents await a court hearing. The administration claimed it was simply following the law, despite the fact there is no law in place that requires families to be separated at the border.
