Long Island Catholic group challenges Bishop Barres, diocese on immigration

Immigration advocates have launched a grassroots campaign to get more parishes involved in the fight against President Donald Trump's mass deportation campaign. The advocates contend Bishop John Barres, head of the Diocese of Rockville Centre, has not done enough to denounce the crackdown. The diocese says Barres helped write a statement by bishops in New York State criticizing aspects of Trump’s campaign and that the church provides extensive support to Latino immigrants. #newyork #catholic #immigration Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/3jLQjUN Subscribe to Newsday.com: newsday.com/socialoffer ~ FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA ~ @newsday on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. @newsday.tv on TikTok.
