(UPDATE AT 4:54 PM EDT: Here is the full video where Pope Leo says, “Many people who lived for years and years and years never causing any problems have been deeply affected by what [Trump is doing] right now.”)

Amid continued directives by the Trump administration to ramp up ICE arrests, concern is rising within Texas' Episcopalian community after one of its priests was taken into custody at a Conroe detention center.



A Houston priest shared screenshots with Chron that were posted in the private Episcopal Diocese of Texas' Facebook group for diocesan clergy on Saturday, Oct. 31. The post shared that ICE detained one of its priests and sent him to a detention center in Conroe, less than an hour north of Houston. The unnamed clergy member is a Kenyan national, the diocese detailed, who is also legally employed by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.



The statement confirmed that the church was in touch with the detained priest's family and was working closely with them to "navigate legal representation and seek clarity regarding the cir stances of his detention."

"This priest has served both the Church and the State of Texas faithfully," the statement read. "We are praying for his safety, for his family's peace of mind, and for fair and human treatment as this case moves forward."

Texas' Episcopal leader, the Right. Rev. C. Andrew Doyle, told Religion News Service (which first broke the story) that the Church was still trying to figure out exactly why the priest had been detained. "We do not know yet why he was targeted," Doyle told the outlet. "He is working legally and his immigration status is do ented with a work permit."

In a phone conversation with Chron, a spokesperson of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas shared further details of the lead-up to the priest's arrest, revealing that he was stopped by Huntsville authorities while driving his car. The priest, who the spokesperson said had been working bi-vocationally in the U.S. since November 2023, had his legal do ents inside the car with him, which showed that he is in the country on asylum and has a legal Social Security number. The diocese believes that he was arrested by the authorities and turned over to ICE custody.

focking bull

Councilor Liz Breadon said all the people detained had some form of legal immigration status — but were not allowed to get their papers by ICE.

The Trump administration is moving to end deportation protections for South Sudanese nationals who have held Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for over 14 years, requiring them to leave the United States or face removal, according to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) notice posted Wednesday.

what a humanitarian

[Winehole23]

are these people by any chance significantly Christian?

I guess the rationale is that it's suitably far away from the presently more intense violence of Western Sudan, or something like that

The notice acknowledged continued instability in South Sudan but pointed to ongoing negotiations between the transitional government in Juba and the State Department, along with an improving security situation in the country as evidence the country could reintegrate its citizens if they return home.“Although residual challenges from the civil war remain, there is no longer an ongoing armed conflict that poses a serious threat to the personal safety of returning South Sudanese nationals,” the agency said.

South Sudan has also sought to court the Trump administration, taking a small number of deportees from other countries in exchange for some relief from sanctions against its political leaders.

But fears have mounted that South Sudan may soon descend into civil war again. U.N. officials in recent months have sounded the alarm that the 2018 framework that allowed for an end to the conflict appears on the verge of collapse.
