Immigration

FCNL is deeply disappointed but undaunted by today’s Senate passage (51-48) of the budget resolution for fiscal year 2025.

Oppose cutting vital social safety net programs to pay for indiscriminate immigration policies. 

FCNL welcomes the reintroduction of the American Dream and Promise Act.

Communities need to have systems and resources to prepare for President Trump’s mass deportation and detention agenda.

A time for relentless advocacy is ahead, but we want to support you with pressing and immediate needs.

Hundreds of people joined us for a call on January 28 to learn how to effectively engage the new Congress. As we hold in the Light people who have been harmed by actions taken in the first week of the Trump administration, FCNL is mobilizing to respond. Your advocacy will be critical throughout the new Congress and the Trump administration. Deepen your engagement now!

The Problem: Communities nationwide are experiencing deep disruption as immigration enforcement expands into civic life. Warrantless operations and state violence have eroded public trust, while families miss school, work, medical appointments, and worship services out of concern. Faith communities affirm that security for some cannot come at the expense of others. Civil immigration enforcement must never violate constitutional rights.

Our country is struggling with deep divisions. Amid the blame of and attack on those who are different - in political views, race, religion, country of origin, or sexual orientation - it becomes even more urgent to highlight the value we place in one another. FCNL’s #LoveThyNeighbor (No Exceptions) campaign seeks to shift the narrative.
