A Letter from Episcopal Migration Ministries

Dear Friends,

On January 21, 2025, the Trump administration signed a range of executive orders that will profoundly impact immigration in the U.S. and put the lives of thousands of vulnerable people at risk. Read a letter here from Episcopal Church leaders on the recent immigration executive orders.

We have put together a brief summary of the key actions, as well as next steps for how you can advocate to your members of Congress. 

As followers of Jesus, we are called to love our neighbors and welcome the stranger. Jesus himself was a migrant, fleeing violence with his family, and he reminds us that whatever we do for the least of these, we do for him. The historic and on-going work of Episcopal Migration Ministries is a living expression of Christ’s command to care for those in need and offer hope to the weary. In the days, weeks, and years to come, EMM will continue this vital ministry to address the needs in our communities.

Thank you for standing with us and supporting this ministry to our new neighbors.

Faithfully,

The Rev. Sarah Shipman
Director, Episcopal Migration Ministries
